[PATCH v2 01/19] KVM: arm64: Always start with clearing SVE flag on load

On each vcpu load, we set the KVM_ARM64_HOST_SVE_ENABLED
flag if SVE is enabled for EL0 on the host. This is used to restore
the correct state on vpcu put.

However, it appears that nothing ever clears this flag. Once
set, it will stick until the vcpu is destroyed, which has the
potential to spuriously enable SVE for userspace.

We probably never saw the issue because no VMM uses SVE, but
that's still pretty bad. Unconditionally clearing the flag
on vcpu load addresses the issue.
