[PATCH 2/5] ARM64: KVM: set and get of sys registers in BE case

This patch fixes issue of reading and writing V8 sys registers in
BE case. It is similar to V7 "ARM: kvm one_reg coproc set and get
BE fixes" patch.

It changes reg_from_user and reg_to_user functions to have strong
typed 'u64 *val' argument. And it uses endian angnostic way to
pick up righ word from '*val' in case when register size is 4 bytes.
