[PATCH v3 14/15] KVM: arm64: Handle protected guests at 32 bits

Protected KVM does not support protected AArch32 guests. However,
it is possible for the guest to force run AArch32, potentially
causing problems. Add an extra check so that if the hypervisor
catches the guest doing that, it can prevent the guest from
running again by resetting vcpu->arch.target and returning
ARM_EXCEPTION_IL.

Adapted from commit 22f553842b14 ("KVM: arm64: Handle Asymmetric
AArch32 systems")
