[RFC PATCH 01/45] KVM: arm/arm64: add missing MMIO data write-back

When the kernel was handling a guest MMIO access internally, we need
to copy the emulation result into the run->mmio structure in order
for the kvm_handle_mmio_return() function to pick it up and inject
the result back into the guest.
Currently the only user of kvm_io_bus for ARM is the VGIC, which did
this copying itself, so this was not causing issues so far.
But with upcoming kvm_io_bus users we need to do the copying here.
