KVM: arm64: Add NVHCR_EL2 context switching

Browse source

Since NVHCR_EL2 represents the HCR_EL2 state of the EL1 guest, it
must be dealt with in some particular way:

- for a guest in hyp context (an L1 by definition), NVHCR_EL2 directly
  reflects HCR_EL2 as read and written by the guest itself. It must
  therefore be eagerly synced back with the emulation code which only
  knows about HCR_EL2. This is unconditional if NV3 is available on
  the host.

- For an L2 guest, NVHCR_EL2 is controlled by the L1 guest, and we
  just context switch it like any other EL1 register. Yes, EL1, as
  that's where this thing runs from the PoV of L1. This is conditioned
  on the guest using NV3.
