KVM: arm64/sve: Make register ioctl access errors more consistent
Currently, the way error codes are generated when processing the SVE register access ioctls in a bit haphazard. This patch refactors the code so that the behaviour is more consistent: now, -EINVAL should be returned only for unrecognised register IDs or when some other runtime error occurs. -ENOENT is returned for register IDs that are recognised, but whose corresponding register (or slice) does not exist for the vcpu. To this end, in {get,set}_sve_reg() we now delegate the vcpu_has_sve() check down into {get,set}_sve_vls() and sve_reg_to_region(). The KVM_REG_ARM64_SVE_VLS special case is picked off first, then sve_reg_to_region() plays the role of exhaustively validating or rejecting the register ID and (where accepted) computing the applicable register region as before. sve_reg_to_region() is rearranged so that -ENOENT or -EPERM is not returned prematurely, before checking whether reg->id is in a recognised range. -EPERM is now only returned when an attempt is made to access an actually existing register slice on an unfinalized vcpu.
