[PATCH V16 5/8] KVM: arm64: nvhe: Disable branch generation in nVHE guests

Disable the BRBE before we enter the guest, saving the status and enable it
back once we get out of the guest. This avoids capturing branch records in
the guest kernel or userspace, which would be confusing the host samples.

Changes in V16:

- Dropped BRBCR_EL1 and BRBFCR_EL1 from enum vcpu_sysreg
- Reverted back the KVM NVHE patch - used host_debug_state based 'brbcr_el1'
  element, and dropped the previous dependency on Jame's coresight series
