[PATCH v6 21/26] arm64: KVM: Reserve 4 additional instructions in the BPI template

So far, we only reserve a single instruction in the BPI template in
order to branch to the vectors. As we're going to stuff a few more
instructions there, let's reserve a total of 5 instructions, which
we're going to patch later on as required.

We also introduce a small refactor of the vectors themselves, so that
we stop carrying the target branch around.
