[PATCH 1/2] KVM: arm64: Report SMCCC_VERSION and SMCCC_ARCH_FEATURES as implemented

KVM reports SMCCC v1.1 to guests, which makes SMCCC_VERSION and
SMCCC_ARCH_FEATURES mandatory, and DEN0028H 7.3.6 requires
SMCCC_ARCH_FEATURES to return SUCCESS for both function ids: "This
function must return SUCCESS when arch_func_id is the SMCCC_VERSION or
SMCCC_ARCH_FEATURES function id." With arch_func_id set to either, KVM's
guest handler returns NOT_SUPPORTED. Return SUCCESS.

A Linux guest is unaffected: it discovers SMCCC_VERSION through
PSCI_FEATURES, and issues SMCCC_ARCH_FEATURES only with arch_func_id set
to ARCH_SOC_ID, the ARCH_WORKAROUND_* ids or HV_PV_TIME_FEATURES.
