[PATCH v3 4/6] KVM: arm64: Emulate the OS Lock

The OS lock blocks all debug exceptions at every EL. To date, KVM has
not implemented the OS lock for its guests, despite the fact that it is
mandatory per the architecture. Simple context switching between the
guest and host is not appropriate, as its effects are not constrained to
the guest context.

Emulate the OS Lock by clearing MDE and SS in MDSCR_EL1, thereby
blocking all but software breakpoint instructions. To handle breakpoint
instructions, trap debug exceptions to EL2 and skip the instruction.
