[PATCHv2 1/3] arm64: kvm: factor out is_{vhe,nvhe}_hyp_code()

Currently has_vhe() detects whether it is being compiled for VHE/NVHE
hyp code based on preprocessor definitions, and uses this knowledge to
avoid redundant runtime checks.

There are other cases where we'd like to use this knowledge, so let's
factor the preprocessor checks out into separate helpers.

There should be no functional change as a result of this patch.
