Subject: [RFC PATCH 26/26] kvm: arm64: Fix EL2 mode availability checks

With nVHE hyp code interception host's PSCI CPU_ON/OFF/SUSPEND SMCs,
from the host's perspective new CPUs start booting in EL1 while
previously they would have booted in EL2. The kernel logic which keeps
track of the mode CPUs were booted in needs to be adjusted to account
for this fact.

Add a static key enabled if KVM nVHE initialization is successful.

When the key is enabled, is_hyp_mode_available continues to report
`true` because its users either treat it a check whether KVM will be /
has been initialized, or whether stub HVCs can be made (eg. hibernate).

is_hyp_mode_mismatched is changed to report `false` when the key is
enabled. That's because all cores' modes matched at the point of KVM
init and KVM will not allow cores not present at init to boot. That
said, the function is never used after KVM is initialized.
