KVM: arm64: nv: Fast-track EL1 TLBIs for VHE guests
Due to the way ARMv8.4-NV suppresses traps when accessing EL2
system registers, we can't track when the guest changes its
HCR_EL2.TGE setting. This means we always trap EL1 TLBIs,
even if they don't affect any guest.
This obviously has a huge impact on performance, as we handle
TLBI traps as a normal exit, and a normal VHE host issues
thousands of TLBIs when booting (and quite a few when running
userspace).
A cheap way to reduce the overhead is to handle the limited
case of {E2H,TGE}=={1,1} as a guest fixup, as we already have
the right mmu configuration in place. Just execute the decoded
instruction right away and return to the guest.
