[PATCH] arm64: Fix early handling of FEAT_E2H0 not being implemented

Commit 3944382fa6f2 introduced checks for the FEAT_E2H0 not being
implemented. However, the check is absolutely wrong and makes a
point it testing a bit that is guaranteed to be zero.

On top of that, the detection happens way too late, after the
init_el2_state has done its job.

This went undetected because the HW this was tested on has E2H being
RAO/WI, and not RES1. However, the bug shows up when run as a nested
guest, where HCR_EL2.E2H is not necessarily set to 1. As a result,
booting the kernel in hVHE mode fails with timer accesses being
cought in a trap loop (which was fun to debug).

Fix the check for ID_AA64MMFR4_EL1.E2H0, and set the HCR_EL2.E2H bit
early so that it can be checked by the rest of the init sequence.

With this, hVHE works again in a NV environment that doesn't have
FEAT_E2H0.

Fixes: 3944382fa6f2 ("arm64: Treat HCR_EL2.E2H as RES1 when ID_AA64MMFR4_EL1.E2H0 is negative")
