[PATCH v5 04/12] KVM: arm: guest debug, add stub KVM_SET_GUEST_DEBUG ioctl

This commit adds a stub function to support the KVM_SET_GUEST_DEBUG
ioctl. Any unsupported flag will return -EINVAL. For now, only
KVM_GUESTDBG_ENABLE is supported, although it won't have any effects.

v2
  - simplified form of the ioctl (stuff will go into setup_debug)
v3
 - KVM_GUESTDBG_VALID->KVM_GUESTDBG_VALID_MASK
 - move mask check to the top of function
 - add ioctl doc header
 - split capability into separate patch
 - tweaked commit wording w.r.t return of -EINVAL
v4
 - add r-b-tag
