I had trouble reading the above function. How about something like?
(Assuming I got the logic right.)

 static inline void *kvm_get_hyp_vector(void)
 {
        struct bp_hardening_data *data = arm64_get_bp_hardening_data();
        void *vect = kern_hyp_va(kvm_ksym_ref(__kvm_hyp_vector));
        int slot = -1;

        if (cpus_have_const_cap(ARM64_HARDEN_BRANCH_PREDICTOR) && data->fn) {
                vect = __bp_harden_hyp_vecs_start;
                slot = data->hyp_vectors_slot;
        }

        if (!has_vhe() && cpus_have_const_cap(ARM64_HARDEN_EL2_VECTORS)) {
                vect = __kvm_bp_vect_base;
                if (slot == -1)
                        slot = __kvm_harden_el2_vector_slot;
        }

        if (slot != -1)
                vect += slot * SZ_2K;

        return vect;
 }

nit: We only use these expressions once, so could probably do away with
the variables. Or the variables could be tucked into the block they're
used in below.

Moving the create_hyp_mappings() under this cap check looks like a fix
that could be posted separately?

If I understood the logic in the above function correctly, then we won't
be using this slot when we have the ARM64_HARDEN_BRANCH_PREDICTOR cap.
Should we even bother allocating it when we don't intend to use it?
