[PATCH 09/28] KVM: arm64: Relax CPTR_EL2 handling when FEAT_NV2p1 is present

With FEAT_NV2P1, it is no longer necessary to trap CPTR_EL2 accesses
via CPACR_EL1, as CPACR_EL1.TCPAC is guaranteed to be stateful.

Prevent such trapping and context switch CPACTR_EL1 in NV contexts
when NV2P1 is present.
