[PATCH v6 6/8] KVM: arm64: Add hypervisor overflow stack

Allocate and switch to 16-byte aligned secondary stack on overflow. This
provides us stack space to better handle overflows; and is used in
a subsequent patch to dump the hypervisor stacktrace. The overflow stack
is only allocated if CONFIG_NVHE_EL2_DEBUG is enabled, as hypervisor
stacktraces is a debug feature dependent on CONFIG_NVHE_EL2_DEBUG.

Changes in v4:
  - Update comment to clarify resetting the SP to the top of the stack
    only happens if CONFIG_NVHE_EL2_DEBUG is disabled, per Fuad
