[PATCH 1/5] arm/arm64: KVM: Don't BUG_ON if IT bits are set in ARM mode

The ARM ARM asserts that having the IT bits set in ARM mode is
unpredictable. But should a CPU do that (and still be able to
run correctly), we shouldn't kill the system.

So let's drop the BUG_ON that checks for this, as it is not
very helpful.
