[GIT PULL] KVM/arm64 fixes for 7.0, take #4

Paolo,

Another week, another set of fixes. This time, another two fixes,
mostly observable with nested virt. The first one results in a vcpu
coming out of reset potentially skipping the first instruction at its
initial PC. The second one is a classic example of pointer arithmetic
going wrong in our address translation emulation, setting the access
bit in semi-random places. Both are stable candidates.

Please pull,

	M.

  KVM: arm64: Fix the descriptor address in __kvm_at_swap_desc() (2026-03-17 13:40:00 +0000)

----------------------------------------------------------------
KVM/arm64 fixes for 7.0, take #4

- Clear the pending exception state from a vcpu coming out of
  reset, as it could otherwise affect the first instruction
  executed in the guest.

- Fix the address translation emulation icode to set the Hardware
  Access bit on the correct PTE instead of some other location.
