KVM: arm64: Avoid mismatched accesses to 'struct kvm_nvhe_init_params'
When running with hVHE enabled, ___kvm_hyp_init() calls __kvm_init_el2_state() on the CPU initialisation path during onlining and resume from suspend. In order to avoid clobbering the link register across this call, it is stashed away in the 'tmp' member of 'struct kvm_nvhe_init_params', however this save/restore operation is performed with the stage-1 MMU disabled at EL2 and therefore gives rise to coherency problems because the field is not aligned or padded to the CWG. For example, a cacheable write to a physically-adjacent structure sharing the same cacheline could lead to an eviction and subsequent write-back, overwriting the saved LR while the incoming CPU is executing __kvm_init_el2_state(). Save the lr in far_el2 and remove the 'tmp' member from 'struct kvm_nvhe_init_params' altogether.
