KVM: arm64: Load the stage-2 MMU context in kvm_vcpu_load_vhe()
To date the VHE code has aggressively reloaded the stage-2 MMU context on every guest entry, despite the fact that this isn't necessary. This was probably done for consistency with the nVHE code, which needs to switch in/out the stage-2 MMU context as both the host and guest run at EL1. Hoist __load_stage2() into kvm_vcpu_load_vhe(), thus avoiding a reload on every guest entry/exit. This is likely to be beneficial to systems with one of the speculative AT errata, as there is now one fewer context synchronization event on the guest entry path. Additionally, it is possible that implementations have hitched correctness mitigations on writes to VTTBR_EL2, which are now elided on guest re-entry. Note that __tlb_switch_to_guest() is deliberately left untouched as it can be called outside the context of a running vCPU.
