It turns out that my last test-run was flawed, as my model was stuck
with VHE, meaning this snippet was never run. If it ran, I would have
noticed that CPTR_EL2.TZ being set results in the ZCR_EL2 access to
trap at EL2, meaning the above explodes very quickly.

I've queued the below patch on top of the existing series, which cures
the issue and let the tests run for real this time.

Thanks to Will for the timely report, and apologies for the lousy
testing...

Subject: [PATCH] KVM: arm64: Fix host's ZCR_EL2 restore on nVHE

We re-enter the EL1 host with CPTR_EL2.TZ set in order to
be able to lazily restore ZCR_EL2 when required.

However, the same CPTR_EL2 configuration also leads to trapping
when ZCR_EL2 is accessed from EL2. Duh!

Clear CPTR_EL2.TZ *before* writing to ZCR_EL2.

Without deviation from the norm, progress is not possible.
