Subject: [PATCH v2 03/15] arm64: KVM: reset E2PB correctly in MDCR_EL2 when exiting the guest(VHE)

On VHE systems, the reset value for MDCR_EL2.E2PB=b00 which defaults
to profiling buffer using the EL2 stage 1 translations. However if the
guest are allowed to use profiling buffers changing E2PB settings, we
need to ensure we resume back MDCR_EL2.E2PB=b00. Currently we just
do bitwise '&' with MDCR_EL2_E2PB_MASK which will retain the value.

So fix it by clearing all the bits in E2PB.
