At the moment, we only save/restore lr if on VHE, as we rely only
the EL1 code to have preserved it in the non-VHE case.

As we're about to get rid of the latter, let's move the save/restore
code to the do_el2_call macro, unifying both code paths.

As a follow-up on this patch, here's a nit I missed where we were still 
saving lr in the EL2 entry code. Doesn't affect functionality, but 
might as well clean that one up (and kill an obscure comment):

I'll squash it locally.

Thanks,
