[PATCH 03/18] arm64: kvm: stop treating register x18 as caller save

From: Ard Biesheuvel <ard.biesheuvel@linaro.org>

In preparation of using x18 as a task struct pointer register when
running in the kernel, stop treating it as caller save in the KVM
guest entry/exit code. Currently, the code assumes there is no need
to preserve it for the host, given that it would have been assumed
clobbered anyway by the function call to __guest_enter(). Instead,
preserve its value and restore it upon return.
