[PATCH v5 7/9] KVM: arm64: Track KVM IOCTLs and their associated KVM caps

Track KVM IOCTLs (VM IOCTLs for now), and the associated KVM capability
that enables that IOCTL. Add a function that performs the lookup.

This will be used by CoCo VM Hypervisors (e.g., pKVM) to determine
whether a particular KVM IOCTL is allowed for its VMs.
