KVM: arm64: Force guest EL1 to use user-space's partid configuration

Browse source

While we trap the guest's attempts to read/write the MPAM control
registers, the hardware continues to use them. Guest-EL0 uses KVM's
user-space's configuration, as the value is left in the register, and
guest-EL1 uses either the host kernel's configuration, or in the case of
VHE, the UNKNOWN reset value of MPAM1_EL1.

We want to force the guest-EL1 to use KVM's user-space's MPAM
configuration. On nVHE rely on MPAM0_EL1 and MPAM1_EL1 always being
programmed the same and on VHE copy MPAM0_EL1 into the guest's
MPAM1_EL1. There is no need to restore as this is out of context once TGE
is set.
