[PATCH] KVM: arm64: Sync SCTLR_EL1 before a pVM's CPU_ON reads its endianness

[Fuad Tabba <fuad.tabba@linux.dev>]

pKVM handles a protected guest's PSCI CPU_ON at EL2 before the guest's
EL1 sysregs are saved, so kvm_vcpu_is_be() reads a stale SCTLR_EL1. A
guest that changes SCTLR_EL1.EE and calls CPU_ON before its next exit
to the host starts the target vCPU with the old endianness.

Sync SCTLR_EL1 before the read, as inject_sync64() does.

Notes:
    inject_sync64() is the only other reader on a protected guest's exit
    path of a guest-writable EL1 sysreg's copy, and it syncs that register
    first. Saving SCTLR_EL1 before the in-loop exit handlers instead would
    put the save on every protected exit for two readers. A non-protected
    guest's CPU_ON is handled by the host, after the sysregs are saved.
