[PATCH 1/2] KVM: arm64: nv: Fix relative priorities of exceptions generated by ERETAx

ERETAx can fail in multiple ways:

(1) ELR_EL2 points lalaland
(2) we get a PAC failure
(3) SPSR_EL2 has the wrong mode

(1) is easy, as we just let the CPU do its thing and deliver an
Instruction Abort. However, (2) and (3) are interesting, because
the PAC failure priority is way below that of the Illegal Execution
State exception.

Which means that if we have detected a PAC failure (and that we have
FPACCOMBINE), we must be careful to give priority to the Illegal
Execution State exception, should one be pending.

Solving this involves hoisting the SPSR calculation earlier and
testing for the IL bit before injecting the FPAC exception.

In the extreme case of a ERETAx returning to an invalid mode *and*
failing its PAC check, we end up with an Instruction Abort (due
to the new PC being mangled by the failed Auth) *and* PSTATE.IL
being set. Which matches the requirements of the architecture.

Whilst we're at it, remove a stale comment that states the obvious
and only confuses the reader.
