KVM: arm64: Harden __ctxt_sys_reg() against out-of-range values
The unsuspecting kernel tinkerer can be easily confused into writing something that looks like this: ikey.lo = __vcpu_sys_reg(vcpu, SYS_APIAKEYLO_EL1); which seems vaguely sensible, until you realise that the second parameter is the encoding of a sysreg, and not the index into the vcpu sysreg file... Debugging what happens in this case is an interesting exercise in head<->wall interactions. As they often say: "Any resemblance to actual persons, living or dead, or actual events is purely coincidental". In order to save people's time, add some compile-time hardening that will at least weed out the "stupidly out of range" values. This will *not* catch anything that isn't a compile-time constant.
