Subject: [PATCH] KVM: arm64: Clear __hyp_running_vcpu when flushing the pKVM
 hyp vCPU

flush_hyp_vcpu() copies the host vCPU context into the hyp's private
vCPU on every run. ctxt_to_vcpu() expects a guest context to have a
NULL __hyp_running_vcpu, which is only ever set on the host context, so
that it resolves the vCPU via container_of(). While this is generally
the case, flush_hyp_vcpu() copies the context verbatim and does not
enforce this, so a value provided by the host is dereferenced at EL2
(host -> EL2).

Fix by clearing __hyp_running_vcpu after the copy.
