ARM64 CPU has zero register which is read-only, with a value of 0.
However, KVM currently incorrectly recognizes it being SP (because
Rt == 31, and in struct user_pt_regs 'regs' array is followed by SP),
resulting in invalid value being read, or even SP corruption on write.

The problem has been discovered by performing an operation

 *((volatile int *)reg) = 0;

which compiles as "str xzr, [xx]", and resulted in strange values being
written.

v1 => v2:
- Changed type of transfer value to u64 and store it directly in
  struct sys_reg_params instead of a pointer
- Use lower_32_bits()/upper_32_bits() where appropriate
- Fixed wrong usage of 'Rt' instead of 'Rt2' in kvm_handle_cp_64(),
  overlooked in v1
- Do not write value back when reading
