[PATCH] KVM: arm64: nv: Properly check ESR_EL2.VNCR on taking a VNCR_EL2 related fault

Instead of checking for the ESR_EL2.VNCR bit being set (the only case
we should be here), we are actually testing random bits in ESR_EL2.DFSC.
13 obviously being a lucky number, it matches both permission and
translation fault status codes, which explains why we never saw it
failing. This was found by inspection, while reviewing a vaguely
related patch.
Whilst we're at it, turn the BUG_ON() into a WARN_ON_ONCE(), as
exploding here is just silly.
