Indeed, the Protected KVM mode promotes __create_hyp_private_mapping()
to a hypercall as EL1 no longer has access to the hypervisor's stage-1
page-table. However, the call from kvm_init_vector_slots() happens after
pKVM has been initialized on the primary CPU, but before it has been
initialized on secondaries. As such, if the KVM initcall procedure is
migrated from one CPU to another in this window, the hypercall may end up
running on a CPU for which EL2 has not been initialized.

Fortunately, the pKVM hypervisor doesn't rely on the host to re-map the
vectors in the private range, so the hypercall in question is in fact
superfluous. Skip it when pKVM is enabled.
