KVM: arm64: nv: Fast-track 'InHost' exception returns
A significant part of the FEAT_NV extension is to trap ERET instructions so that the hypervisor gets a chance to switch from a vEL2 L1 guest to an EL1 L2 guest. But this also has the unfortunate consequence of trapping ERET in unsuspecting circumstances, such as staying at vEL2 (interrupt handling while being in the guest hypervisor), or returning to host userspace in the case of a VHE guest. Although we already make some effort to handle these ERET quicker by not doing the put/load dance, it is still way too far down the line for it to be efficient enough. For these cases, it would ideal to ERET directly, no question asked. Of course, we can't do that. But the next best thing is to do it as early as possible, in fixup_guest_exit(), much as we would handle FPSIMD exceptions.
