[PATCH] arm64: KVM: VHE: reset PSTATE.UAO when switch to host

In VHE mode, host kernel runs in the EL2 and can enable
'User Access Override' when fs==KERNEL_DS so that it can
access kernel memory. However, PSTATE.UAO is set to 0 on
an exception taken from EL1 to EL2. Thus when VHE is used
and exception taken from a guest UAO will be disabled and
host will use the incorrect PSTATE.UAO. So check and reset
the PSTATE.UAO when switching to host.

Move the reset PSTATE.PAN on entry to EL2 together with
PSTATE.UAO reset.
