Mark Rutland 9f2386b273 KVM: arm64: Remove VHE host restore of CPACR_EL1.ZEN
[ Upstream commit 459f059be702056d91537b99a129994aa6ccdd35 ]

When KVM is in VHE mode, the host kernel tries to save and restore the
configuration of CPACR_EL1.ZEN (i.e. CPTR_EL2.ZEN when HCR_EL2.E2H=1)
across kvm_arch_vcpu_load_fp() and kvm_arch_vcpu_put_fp(), since the
configuration may be clobbered by hyp when running a vCPU. This logic is
currently redundant.

The VHE hyp code unconditionally configures CPTR_EL2.ZEN to 0b01 when
returning to the host, permitting host kernel usage of SVE.

Now that the host eagerly saves and unbinds its own FPSIMD/SVE/SME
state, there's no need to save/restore the state of the EL0 SVE trap.
The kernel can safely save/restore state without trapping, as described
above, and will restore userspace state (including trap controls) before
returning to userspace.

Remove the redundant logic.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
