When pointer authentication is supported, a guest may wish to use it.
This patch adds the necessary KVM infrastructure for this to work, with
a semi-lazy context switch of the pointer auth state.

I think this now needs to have "goto out;" instead of "return -EINVAL;",
since 5.1-rcX contains commit e761a927bc9a ("KVM: arm/arm64: Reset the
VCPU without preemption and vcpu state loaded") which changed some of
this code.
ok missed the changes for this commit.
One more thing - I think the WARN_ON() here should be removed. Otherwise
if panic_on_warn is set then userspace can panic the kernel. I think
WARN_ON is only for internal kernel errors (see comment in
include/asm-generic/bug.h).

Thanks,
Kristina
