KVM: arm64: Introduce support for userspace SMCCC filtering


As the SMCCC (and related specifications) march towards an 'everything
and the kitchen sink' interface for interacting with a system it becomes
less likely that KVM will support every related feature. We could do
better by letting userspace have a crack at it instead.

Allow userspace to define an 'SMCCC filter' that applies to both HVCs
and SMCs initiated by the guest. Supporting both conduits with this
interface is important for a couple of reasons. Guest SMC usage is table
stakes for a nested guest, as HVCs are always taken to the virtual EL2.
Additionally, guests may want to interact with a service on the secure
side which can now be proxied by userspace.
