[PATCH v2 05/13] KVM: arm64: Restore mdcr_el2 from vcpu

On deactivating traps, restore the value of mdcr_el2 from the
vcpu context, rather than directly reading the hardware register.
Currently, the two values are the same, i.e., the hardware
register and the vcpu one. A future patch will be changing the
value of mdcr_el2 on activating traps, and this ensures that its
value will be restored.

No functional change intended.
