[PATCH v4] KVM: arm64: Add early_param to control WFx trapping

Add an early_params to control WFI and WFE trapping. This is to
control the degree guests can wait for interrupts on their own without
being trapped by KVM. Options for each param are trap, notrap, and
default. trap enables the trap. notrap disables the trap. default
preserves current behavior, disabling the trap if only a single task
is running and enabling otherwise.

v4:

* Fixed inaccurate names that incorrectly implied this controls interrupts
  themselves instead of instructions waiting for interrupts and events
* Split into two separate params as interrupts (WFI) and events (WFE) do
  different things and may warrant separate controls.
* Document new params in Documentation/admin-guide/kernel-parameters.txt
