[PATCH v3 3/8] KVM: arm64: Remove VHE host restore of CPACR_EL1.ZEN

When KVM is in VHE mode, the host kernel tries to save and restore the
configuration of CPACR_EL1.ZEN (i.e. CPTR_EL2.ZEN when HCR_EL2.E2H=1)
across kvm_arch_vcpu_load_fp() and kvm_arch_vcpu_put_fp(), since the
configuration may be clobbered by hyp when running a vCPU. This logic is
currently redundant.
The VHE hyp code unconditionally configures CPTR_EL2.ZEN to 0b01 when
returning to the host, permitting host kernel usage of SVE.
Now that the host eagerly saves and unbinds its own FPSIMD/SVE/SME
state, there's no need to save/restore the state of the EL0 SVE trap.
The kernel can safely save/restore state without trapping, as described
above, and will restore userspace state (including trap controls) before
returning to userspace.
Remove the redundant logic.
