KVM: arm64: Fix error checking for FFA_VERSION

Browse source

According to section 13.2 of the DEN0077 FF-A specification, when
firmware does not support the requested version, it should reply with
FFA_RET_NOT_SUPPORTED(-1). Table 13.6 specifies the type of the error
code as int32.
Currently, the error checking logic compares the unsigned long return
value it got from the SMC layer, against a "-1" literal. This fails due
to a type mismatch: the literal is extended to 64 bits, whereas the
register contains only 32 bits of ones(0x00000000ffffffff).
Consequently, hyp_ffa_init misinterprets the "-1" return value as an
invalid FF-A version. This prevents pKVM initialization on devices where
FF-A is not supported in firmware.
Fix this by explicitly casting res.a0 to s32.
