[21/37] KVM: arm64: Don't save the host ELR_EL2 and SPSR_EL2 on VHE systems

On non-VHE systems we need to save the ELR_EL2 and SPSR_EL2 so that we
can return to the host in EL1 in the same state and location where we
issued a hypercall to EL2, but these registers don't contain anything
important on VHE, because all of the host runs in EL2.  Therefore,
exclude them when saving/restoring the host state.

This commit message implies we start excluding now, but this patch
actually has no functional change. It just prepares things for
patch 27/37 "KVM: arm64: Defer saving/restoring system registers to
vcpu load/put on VHE". Can you please clarify it?

Thanks,

Sure:

  On non-VHE systems we need to save the ELR_EL2 and SPSR_EL2 so that we
  can return to the host in EL1 in the same state and location where we
  issued a hypercall to EL2, but these registers don't contain anything
  important on VHE, because all of the host runs in EL2.  Therefore,
  factor out these registers into separate save/restore functions, making
  it easy to exclude them from the VHE world-switch path later on.
