[PATCH 1/3] arm64: VHE: Enable EL2 MMU from the idmap

Enabling the MMU requires the write to SCTLR_ELx (and the ISB
that follows) to live in some identity-mapped memory. Otherwise,
the translation will result in something totally unexpected
(either fetching the wrong instruction stream, or taking a
fault of some sort).
This is exactly what happens in mutate_to_vhe(), as this code
lives in the .hyp.text section, which isn't identity-mapped.
With the right configuration, this explodes badly.
Extract the MMU-enabling part of mutate_to_vhe(), and move
it to its own function that lives in the idmap. This ensures
nothing bad happens.
Fixes: f359182291c7 ("arm64: Provide an 'upgrade to VHE' stub hypercall")
