[PATCH v2 1/6] KVM: arm64: Correctly treat writes to OSLSR_EL1 as undefined

Any valid implementation of the architecture should generate an
undefined exception for writes to a read-only register, such as
OSLSR_EL1. Nonetheless, the KVM handler actually implements write-ignore
behavior.

Align the trap handler for OSLSR_EL1 with hardware behavior. If such a
write ever traps to EL2, inject an undef into the guest and print a
warning.
