[PATCH v3 02/17] arm64: Prevent the use of is_kernel_in_hyp_mode() in hypervisor code

Using is_kernel_in_hyp_mode() in hypervisor code is a pretty bad
mistake. This helper only checks for CurrentEL being EL2, which
is always true.

Make the compilation fail if using the helper in hypervisor context
Whilst we're at it, flag the helper as __always_inline, which it
really should be.
