[PATCH v7 23/23] [DO NOT MERGE] arm64: Cope with CPUs stuck in VHE mode

[Marc Zyngier <maz@kernel.org>]

It seems that the CPU known as Apple M1 has the terrible habit
of being stuck with HCR_EL2.E2H==1, in violation of the architecture.

Try and work around this deplorable state of affairs by detecting
the stuck bit early and short-circuit the nVHE dance. It is still
unknown whether there are many more such nuggets to be found...
