KVM: arm64: Skip more of the SError vaxorcism
During __guest_exit() we need to consume any SError left pending by the
guest so it doesn't contaminate the host. With v8.2 we use the
ESB-instruction. For systems without v8.2, we use dsb+isb and unmask
SError. We do this on every guest exit.

Use the same dsb+isr_el1 trick, this lets us know if an SError is pending
after the dsb, allowing us to skip the isb and self-synchronising PSTATE
write if its not.

This means SError remains masked during KVM's world-switch, so any SError
that occurs during this time is reported by the host, instead of causing
a hyp-panic.

As we're benchmarking this code lets polish the layout. If you give gcc
likely()/unlikely() hints in an if() condition, it shuffles the generated
assembly so that the likely case is immediately after the branch. Lets
do the same here.

Changes since v2:
 * Added isb after the dsb to prevent an early read
