[PATCH 2/2] KVM: arm64: Ensure TLBI uses correct VMID after changing context

When the target context passed to enter_vmid_context() matches the
current running context, the function returns early without manipulating
the registers of the stage-2 MMU. This can result in a stale VMID due to
the lack of an ISB instruction in exit_vmid_context() after writing the
VTTBR when ARM64_WORKAROUND_SPECULATIVE_AT is not enabled.
For example, with pKVM enabled:
// Initially running in host context
enter_vmid_context(guest);
-> __load_stage2(guest); isb // Writes VTCR & VTTBR
exit_vmid_context(guest);
-> __load_stage2(host); // Restores VTCR & VTTBR
enter_vmid_context(host);
-> Returns early as we're already in host context
tlbi vmalls12e1is // !!! Can use the stale VMID as we
// haven't performed context
// synchronisation since restoring
// VTTBR.VMID
Add an unconditional ISB instruction to exit_vmid_context() after
restoring the VTTBR. This already existed for the
ARM64_WORKAROUND_SPECULATIVE_AT path, so we can simply hoist that onto
the common path.
