[PATCHv13 6/9] KVM: arm64: Add a flag to disable MMIO trace for nVHE KVM

Add a generic flag (__DISABLE_TRACE_MMIO__) to disable MMIO
tracing in nVHE KVM as the tracepoint and MMIO logging symbols
should not be visible at nVHE KVM as there is no way to execute
them. It can also be used to disable MMIO tracing for specific
drivers.
