arm64: Add hypervisor safe helper for checking constant capabilities
commit a4023f68 upstream. The hypervisor may not have full access to the kernel data structures and hence cannot safely use cpus_have_cap() helper for checking the system capability. Add a safe helper for hypervisors to check a constant system capability, which *doesn't* fall back to checking the bitmap maintained by the kernel. With this, make the cpus_have_cap() only check the bitmask and force constant cap checks to use the new API for quicker checks.
