[PATCH] arm64: Independently update HDFGRTR_EL2 and HDFGWTR_EL2

Currently PMSNEVFR_EL1 system register read, and write access EL2 traps are
disabled, via setting the same bit (i.e 62) in HDFGRTR_EL2, and HDFGWTR_EL2
respectively. Although very similar, bit fields are not exact same in these
two EL2 trap configure registers particularly when it comes to read-only or
write-only accesses such as ready-only 'HDFGRTR_EL2.nBRBIDR' which needs to
be set while enabling BRBE on NVHE platforms. Using the exact same bit mask
fields for both these trap register risk writing into their RESERVED areas,
which is undesirable.

This applies on v6.6-rc6.

I guess it should be okay to use 'x2' as it is in the clobbered register
list for init_el2_state() function. But please do let me know otherwise.
