KVM: arm64: Set an impdef ESR for Virtual-SError using VSESR_EL2.

Browse source 
Prior to v8.2's RAS Extensions, the HCR_EL2.VSE 'virtual SError' feature
generated an SError with an implementation defined ESR_EL1.ISS, because we
had no mechanism to specify the ESR value.

On Juno this generates an all-zero ESR, the most significant bit 'ISV'
is clear indicating the remainder of the ISS field is invalid.

With the RAS Extensions we have a mechanism to specify this value, and the
most significant bit has a new meaning: 'IDS - Implementation Defined
Syndrome'. An all-zero SError ESR now means: 'RAS error: Uncategorized'
instead of 'no valid ISS'.

Add KVM support for the VSESR_EL2 register to specify an ESR value when
HCR_EL2.VSE generates a virtual SError. Change kvm_inject_vabt() to
specify an implementation-defined value.

We only need to restore the VSESR_EL2 value when HCR_EL2.VSE is set, KVM
save/restores this bit during __{,de}activate_traps() and hardware clears the
bit once the guest has consumed the virtual-SError.

Future patches may add an API (or KVM CAP) to pend a virtual SError with
a specified ESR.
