[RFC] kvm: arm64: export memory error recovery capability to user space

Commit Message

When user space do memory recovery, it will check whether KVM and
guest support the error recovery, only when both of them support,
user space will do the error recovery. This patch exports this
capability of KVM to user space.

User space needs to check this capability of KVM is suggested by Peter[1],
this patch as RFC tag because user space patches are still under review,
so this kernel patch is firstly sent out for review.
