[PATCH v4 13/14] ARM64: KVM: set and get of sys registers in BE case

Since size of all sys registers is always 8 bytes. Current
code is actually endian agnostic. Just clean it up a bit.
Removed comment about little endian. Change type of pointer
from 'void *' to 'u64 *' to enforce stronger type checking.
