I recently discovered that the Pointer Authentication (PtrAuth)
handling code in KVM is busted, and has been for a while. The main
issue is that the we save the host's keys from a preemptible
context. Things will go wrong at some point.

In order to address this, the first patch move the saving of the
host's keys to vcpu_load(). It is done eagerly, which is a bore, but
is at least safe. This is definitely stable material.

The following two patches are adding an optimisation and a fix for a
corner case: we handle key saving and HCR massaging as a fixup, much
like the FPSIMD code. This subsequently allows us to deal with the
ugly case of a guest enabling PtrAuth despite it not being advertised,
resulting in PAC instructions UNDEF'ing while they should be NOPs.

This has been very lightly tested on a model.
