Subject: [PATCH] RISC-V KVM: Remove unnecessary HGATP csr_read

From: "Guo Ren (Alibaba DAMO Academy)" <guoren@...nel.org>

The HGATP has been set to zero in gstage_mode_detect(), so there
is no need to save the old context. Unify the code convention
with gstage_mode_detect().

Signed-off-by: Guo Ren (Alibaba DAMO Academy) <guoren@...nel.org>

This cleanup is based on yufang.yu's vmid fixup patch.
