KVM: arm64: Remove VHE host restore of CPACR_EL1.SMEN
When KVM is in VHE mode, the host kernel tries to save and restore the configuration of CPACR_EL1.SMEN (i.e. CPTR_EL2.SMEN when HCR_EL2.E2H=1) across kvm_arch_vcpu_load_fp() and kvm_arch_vcpu_put_fp(), since the configuration may be clobbered by hyp when running a vCPU. This logic has historically been broken, and is currently redundant. This logic was originally introduced in commit: 861262a ("KVM: arm64: Handle SME host state when running guests") At the time, the VHE hyp code would reset CPTR_EL2.SMEN to 0b00 when returning to the host, trapping host access to SME state. Unfortunately, this was unsafe as the host could take a softirq before calling kvm_arch_vcpu_put_fp(), and if a softirq handler were to use kernel mode NEON the resulting attempt to save the live FPSIMD/SVE/SME state would result in a fatal trap. That issue was limited to VHE mode. For nVHE/hVHE modes, KVM always saved/restored the host kernel's CPACR_EL1 value, and configured CPTR_EL2.TSM to 0b0, ensuring that host usage of SME would not be trapped. The issue above was incidentally fixed by commit: 375110a ("KVM: arm64: Fix resetting SME trap values on reset for (h)VHE") That commit changed the VHE hyp code to configure CPTR_EL2.SMEN to 0b01 when returning to the host, permitting host kernel usage of SME, avoiding the issue described above. At the time, this was not identified as a fix for commit 861262a. Now that the host eagerly saves and unbinds its own FPSIMD/SVE/SME state, there's no need to save/restore the state of the EL0 SME trap. The kernel can safely save/restore state without trapping, as described above, and will restore userspace state (including trap controls) before returning to userspace. Remove the redundant logic.
