[PATCH 1/2] KVM: arm64: mixed-width check should be skipped for uninitialized vCPUs

vcpu_allowed_register_width() checks if all the VCPUs are either
all 32bit or all 64bit.  Since the checking is done even for vCPUs
that are not initialized (KVM_ARM_VCPU_INIT has not been done) yet,
the non-initialized vCPUs are erroneously treated as 64bit vCPU,
which causes the function to incorrectly detect a mixed-width VM.

Fix vcpu_allowed_register_width() to skip the check for vCPUs that
are not initialized yet.
