[RFC 15/55] KVM: arm64: Trap EL1 VM register accesses in virtual EL2

From: Christoffer Dall <christoffer.dall at linaro.org>

When running in virtual EL2 mode, we actually run the hardware in EL1
and therefore have to use the EL1 registers to ensure correct operation.

By setting the HCR.TVM and HCR.TVRM we ensure that the virtual EL2 mode
doesn't shoot itself in the foot when setting up what it believes to be
a different mode's system register state (for example when preparing to
switch to a VM).

We can leverage the existing sysregs infrastructure to support trapped
accesses to these registers.
