[PATCH v1 09/11] KVM: arm64: Minimise EL2's exposure of host VGIC state during world switch

From: Marc Zyngier <maz at kernel.org>
The host passes a vgic_v3_cpu_if pointer to the __vgic_v3_save_aprs and
__vgic_v3_restore_vmcr_aprs hypercalls, which EL2 dereferences
wholesale. That exposes the host's full VGIC emulation state to the
hypervisor, against pKVM's isolation goals.
Recover the host vCPU from the supplied cpu_if via container_of() and
copy only vgic_vmcr and the active priority registers between EL2's
hyp-side state and the host vCPU, so EL2 no longer dereferences the
host's vgic_v3_cpu_if directly.
