[PULL 09/50] arm64: KVM: VHE: reset PSTATE.PAN on entry to EL2

From: Vladimir Murzin <vladimir.murzin at arm.com>

SCTLR_EL2.SPAN bit controls what happens with the PSTATE.PAN bit on an
exception. However, this bit has no effect on the PSTATE.PAN when
HCR_EL2.E2H or HCR_EL2.TGE is unset. Thus when VHE is used and
exception taken from a guest PSTATE.PAN bit left unchanged and we
continue with a value guest has set.

To address that always reset PSTATE.PAN on entry from EL1.

Fixes: 1f364c8c48a0 ("arm64: VHE: Add support for running Linux in EL2 mode")
