KVM: arm64: Always return generic v8 as the preferred target

Browse source

Userspace selecting an implementation-specific vCPU target has been
completely useless for a very long time. Let's go whole hog and start
returning the generic v8 target across all implementations as the
preferred target.

Uphold the pre-existing behavior by tolerating either the generic target
or an implementation-specific target if the vCPU happens to be running
on one of the lucky few parts.
