[RFC PATCH v2 29/38] KVM: arm64: Support a VM with VHE considering EL0 of the VHE host

On VHE systems, EL0 of the host kernel is considered as a part of 'VHE
host'; The execution of EL0 is affected by system registers set by the
VHE kernel including the hypervisor. To emulate this for a VM, we use
the same set of system registers (i.e. shadow registers) for the virtual
EL2 and EL0 execution.

Note that the assumption so far is that a hypervisor in a VM always runs
in the virtual EL2, and the exception level change from/to the virtual
EL2 always goes through the host hypervisor. With VHE support for a VM,
however, the exception level can be changed from EL0 to virtual EL2
without trapping to the host hypervisor. So, when returning from the VHE
host mode, set the vcpu mode depending on the physical exception level.
