[PATCH 4/5] KVM: arm64: Report optional ID register traps with a 0x18 syndrome

With FEAT_IDST, unimplemented system registers must be reported using
EC=0x18 at the closest handling EL, rather than with an UNDEF.

Most system registers are always implemented thanks to their dependency
on FEAT_AA64, except for a set of (currently) three registers:
GMID_EL1 (depending on MTE2), CCSIDR2_EL1 (depending on FEAT_CCIDX),
and SMIDR_EL1 (depending on SME).

For these three registers, report their trap as EC=0x18 if they
end-up trapping into KVM and that FEAT_IDST is not implemented in the
guest. Otherwise, just make them UNDEF.
