[PATCH v11 31/43] KVM: arm64: nv: Don't block in WFI from nested state

If trapping WFI from a L2 guest, and that L1 hasn't asked for
such trap, it is very hard to decide when to unblock the vcpu,
as we only have a very partial view on the guest's nested
interrupt state (the L1 hypervisor knows about it, but L0 doesn't).
In such a case, we're better off just returning to the L2 guest
immediately. It isn't wrong from an architecture perspective.
