From: Fangyu Yu <fangyu.yu at linux.alibaba.com>

When executing HLV* instructions at the HS mode, a guest page fault
may occur when a g-stage page table migration between triggering the
virtual instruction exception and executing the HLV* instruction.

This may be a corner case, and one simpler way to handle this is to
re-execute the instruction where the virtual  instruction exception
occurred, and the guest page fault will be automatically handled.

Fixes: 9f7013265112 ("RISC-V: KVM: Handle MMIO exits for VCPU")
