[PATCH 3/3] KVM: arm64: Remove ISB after writing FPEXC32_EL2

The value of FPEX32_EL2 has no effect on execution in AArch64 state, and
consequently there's no need for an ISB after writing to it in the hyp
code (which executes in AArch64 state). When performing an exception
return to AArch32 state, the exception return will provide the necessary
context synchronization event.
Remove the redundant ISB.
