[PATCH] KVM: arm64: Report Protected KVM cap only if KVM is enabled

If "kvm-arm.mode=protected" is present on kernel command line, but the
kernel doesn't actually support KVM because it booted from EL1, the
ARM64_KVM_PROTECTED_MODE capability is misleadingly reported as present.
Fix this by adding a check whether we booted from EL2.
