[PATCH v4 04/19] kvm: arm64: nvhe: Save the SPE context early

The nvhe hyp saves the SPE context, flushing any unwritten
data before we switch to the guest. But this operation is
performed way too late, because :
  - The ownership of the SPE is transferred to EL2. i.e,
    using EL2 translations. (MDCR_EL2_E2PB == 0)
  - The guest Stage1 is loaded.

Thus the flush could use the host EL1 virtual address,
but use the EL2 translations instead. Fix this by
moving the SPE context save early.
i.e, Save the context before we load the guest stage1
and before we change the ownership to EL2.

The restore path is doing the right thing.
