KVM: s390: arm64: Implement feature sanitisation

This commit implements feature detection and ID register sanitization for
arm64 KVM guests on s390 using capabilities queried via QAAF.

[Severity: Low]
Should kvm_arm_host_sanitize_features() also mask reserved bits for
ID_AFR0_EL1?  kvm_qaaf_read_ftr_reg() exposes
qmc_sanitized.regs[QAAF_REG_ID_AFR0_EL1], and without
MASK_RESERVED(qaaf_qmc, ID_AFR0_EL1) its reserved bits [63:16] remain
unmasked when queried via read_sanitised_ftr_reg().

[Severity: Medium]
Does the ARM64_HAS_HCR_NV1 case check for FEAT_E2H0 instead of HCR_EL2.NV1
support?

In the Arm architecture, ID_AA64MMFR4_EL1.E2H0 is a signed field where 0
(ID_AA64MMFR4_EL1_E2H0_IMP) means HCR_EL2.E2H can be programmed to 0, 0xf
(ID_AA64MMFR4_EL1_E2H0_NI) means E2H0 is not implemented but HCR_EL2.NV1 is
supported if nested virtualization is present, and 0xe
(ID_AA64MMFR4_EL1_E2H0_NI_NV1) means neither is implemented.  On arm64,
has_nv1() checks for nested virtualization support and that E2H0 is not
NI_NV1:

arch/arm64/kernel/cpufeature.c:has_nv1() {
	return (__system_matches_cap(ARM64_HAS_NESTED_VIRT) &&
		!(has_cpuid_feature(entry, scope) ||
		  is_midr_in_range_list(nv1_ni_list)));
}

Checking E2H0 == ID_AA64MMFR4_EL1_E2H0_IMP causes cpus_have_final_cap() to
return true whenever E2H0 is 0 even though nested virtualization is not
supported on s390, and false when E2H0 is 0xf.

[Severity: Low]
This isn't a bug, but the kernel-doc comment uses "@id -" instead of "@id:",
which causes scripts/kernel-doc to warn that the parameter is not described
in read_sanitised_ftr_reg().
