KVM: arm64: nv: Handle mapping of VNCR_EL2 at EL2

Browse source 
Now that we can handle faults triggered through VNCR_EL2, we need
to map the corresponding page at EL2. But where, you'll ask?

Since each CPU in the system can run a vcpu, we need a per-CPU
mapping. For that, we carve a NR_CPUS range in the fixmap, giving
us a per-CPU va at which to map the guest's VNCR's page.

The mapping occurs both on vcpu load and on the back of a fault,
both generating a request that will take care of the mapping.
That mapping will also get dropped on vcpu put.

Yes, this is a bit heavy handed, but it is simple. Eventually,
we may want to have a per-VM, per-CPU mapping, which would avoid
all the TLBI overhead.
