Previously this code update only vCPU's in-memory value, which is good,
but not enough, as there will be no context switch after exiting
exception handler, so in-memory value will not get into actual
register.
It worked good enough for VHE guests because KVM code tried fast path,
which of course updated real PAR_EL1.
