[PATCH v2 0/5] KVM/arm64: Enable PtrAuth on non-VHE KVM

Not having PtrAuth on non-VHE KVM (for whatever reason VHE is not
enabled on a v8.3 system) has always looked like an oddity. This
trivial series remedies it, and allows a non-VHE KVM to offer PtrAuth
to its guests.
In the tradition of not having separate security between host-EL1 and
EL2, EL2 reuses the keys set up by host-EL1. It is likely that, should
we switch to a mode where EL2 is more distrusting of EL1, we'd have
private keys there.
The last two patches are respectively an optimization when
save/restoring the PtrAuth context, and a cleanup of the alternatives
used by that same save/restore code.
* From v1 [1]:
- Move the hand-crafted literal load to using a mov_q macro (Andrew, Mark)
- Added a cleanup of the alternatives on the save/restore path (Mark)
