KVM: arm64: VM exit to userspace to handle SEA

When APEI fails to handle a stage-2 synchronous external abort (SEA),
today KVM injects an asynchronous SError to the VCPU then resumes it,
which usually results in unpleasant guest kernel panic.

One major situation of guest SEA is when vCPU consumes recoverable
uncorrected memory error (UER). Although SError and guest kernel panic
effectively stops the propagation of corrupted memory, guest may
re-use the corrupted memory if auto-rebooted; in worse case, guest
boot may run into poisoned memory. So there is room to recover from
an UER in a more graceful manner.

Alternatively KVM can redirect the synchronous SEA event to VMM to
- Reduce blast radius if possible. VMM can inject a SEA to VCPU via
  KVM's existing KVM_SET_VCPU_EVENTS API. If the memory poison
  consumption or fault is not from guest kernel, blast radius can be
  limited to the triggering thread in guest userspace, so VM can
  keep running.
- Allow VMM to protect from future memory poison consumption by
  unmapping the page from stage-2, or to interrupt guest of the
  poisoned page so guest kernel can unmap it from stage-1 page table.
- Allow VMM to track SEA events that VM customers care about, to restart
  VM when certain number of distinct poison events have happened,
  to provide observability to customers in log management UI.

Introduce an userspace-visible feature to enable VMM handle SEA:
- KVM_CAP_ARM_SEA_TO_USER. As the alternative fallback behavior
  when host APEI fails to claim a SEA, userspace can opt in this new
  capability to let KVM exit to userspace during SEA if it is not
  owned by host.
- KVM_EXIT_ARM_SEA. A new exit reason is introduced for this.
  KVM fills kvm_run.arm_sea with as much as possible information about
  the SEA, enabling VMM to emulate SEA to guest by itself.
  - Sanitized ESR_EL2. The general rule is to keep only the bits
    useful for userspace and relevant to guest memory.
  - Flags indicating if faulting guest physical address is valid.
  - Faulting guest physical and virtual addresses if valid.
