[PATCH v5 07/13] KVM: arm/arm64: mask/unmask daif around VHE guests

Non-VHE systems take an exception to EL2 in order to world-switch into the
guest. When returning from the guest KVM implicitly restores the DAIF
flags when it returns to the kernel at EL1.

With VHE none of this exception-level jumping happens, so KVMs
world-switch code is exposed to the host kernel's DAIF values, and KVM
spills the guest-exit DAIF values back into the host kernel.
On entry to a guest we have Debug and SError exceptions unmasked, KVM
has switched VBAR but isn't prepared to handle these. On guest exit
Debug exceptions are left disabled once we return to the host and will
stay this way until we enter user space.

Add a helper to mask/unmask DAIF around VHE guests. The unmask can only
happen after the hosts VBAR value has been synchronised by the isb in
__vhe_hyp_call (via kvm_call_hyp()). Masking could be as late as
setting KVMs VBAR value, but is kept here for symmetry.

This isn't backportable because of the 'daif' helpers, I will produce a
backport once its merged.

Changes since v4:
* Added empty declarations for 32bit. (how did I miss that?)
