[PATCH 10/28] KVM: arm64: Relax CNTHCTL_EL2 handling when FEAT_NV2p1 is present

With NV2p1, it is no longer necessary to use the split approach
where bits of CNTHCTL_EL2 cannot be accessed via CNTKCTL_EL1,
and we can treat the CNTKCTL_EL1 accessor as if it was "normal".
Key the special casing on FEAT_NV2P1 not being implemented.
