[PATCH] arm64: KVM: reduce guest fpsimd trap

Add last_fpsimd_trap to notify if guest last exit reason is handling fpsimd. If guest is using fpsimd frequently, save host's fpsimd state and restore guest's fpsimd state and deactive fpsimd trap before returning to guest. It can avoid guest fpsimd trap soon to improve performance.
