[PATCH 01/12] KVM: arm/arm64: vgic: Remove spurious call to kern_hyp_va

In save_elrsr(.), we use the following technique to ascertain the
address of the vgic global state:
	(kern_hyp_va(&kvm_vgic_global_state))->nr_lr

For arm, kern_hyp_va(va) == va, and this call effectively compiles out.

For arm64, this call can be spurious as the address of kvm_vgic_global_state
will usually be determined by relative page/absolute page offset relocation
at link time. As the function is idempotent, having the call for arm64 does
not cause any problems.

Unfortunately, this is about to change for arm64 as we need to change
the logic of kern_hyp_va to allow for kernel addresses that are outside
the direct linear map.

This patch removes the call to kern_hyp_va, and ensures that correct
HYP addresses are computed via relative page offset addressing on arm64.
This is achieved by a custom accessor, hyp_address(.), which on arm is a
simple reference operator.
