KVM: s390: arm64: Implement arm sysreg managing infrastructure
This commit implements the infrastructure for the s390 host to read, write,
and trap guest arm64 system registers using EASR/SASR instructions and
shared arm64 sysreg tables.

[Severity: High]
Can _vcpu_read_sys_reg() and _vcpu_write_sys_reg() call smp_processor_id()
with preemption enabled?
vcpu_load() sets vcpu->cpu and then calls put_cpu(), and
kvm_arch_vcpu_ioctl_run() re-enables local interrupts before calling
handle_exit(). When exit handlers such as kvm_handle_sys_reg() or
kvm_handle_guest_abort() read or write save-area registers,
vcpu_is_loaded() is true in preemptible context.
On CONFIG_DEBUG_PREEMPT=y kernels, smp_processor_id() triggers a
check_preemption_disabled() BUG splat. On any preemptible kernel, if the
vCPU thread is migrated between reading (C)->cpu and evaluating
smp_processor_id(), the preempt notifier updates (C)->cpu to the new CPU
and KVM_BUG_ON() fires falsely, killing the VM.
