Subject: [PATCH v3 13/47] KVM: arm64: Use kernel-space partid configuration for hypercalls

On nVHE systems whether or not MPAM is enabled, EL2 continues to use
partid-0 for hypercalls, even when the host may have configured its kernel
threads to use a different partid. 0 may have been assigned to another
task. Copy the EL1 MPAM register to EL2. This ensures hypercalls use the
same partid as the kernel thread does on the host.

Changes since v2:
Use mask
Use read_sysreg_el1 to cope with hvhe
