[PATCH 04/85] arm64: KVM: Move CPU ID reg trap setup off the world switch path

From: Dave Martin <Dave.Martin at arm.com>

The HCR_EL2.TID3 flag needs to be set when trapping guest access to
the CPU ID registers is required.  However, the decision about
whether to set this bit does not need to be repeated at every
switch to the guest.

Instead, it's sufficient to make this decision once and record the
outcome.

This patch moves the decision to vcpu_reset_hcr() and records the
choice made in vcpu->arch.hcr_el2.  The world switch code can then
load this directly when switching to the guest without the need for
conditional logic on the critical path.
