[PATCH 5/7] KVM: arm64: Ignore HCR_EL2.FIEN set by L1 guest's EL2

An EL2 guest can set HCR_EL2.FIEN, which gives access to the RASv1p1
fault injection mechanism. This would allow an EL1 guest to inject
error records into the system, which does sound like a terrible idea.
Prevent this situation by added FIEN to the list of bits we silently
exclude from being inserted into the host configuration.
