From: Sudeep Holla <redacted>

On VHE systems, the kernel executes at EL2 and configures the profiling
buffer to use the EL2&0 translation regime and to trap accesses from the
guest by clearing MDCR_EL2.E2PB. In vcpu_put(), KVM does a bitwise or with
the E2PB mask, preserving its value. This has been correct so far, since
MDCR_EL2.E2B has the same value (0b00) for all VMs.

However, this will change when KVM enables support for SPE in guests. For
such guests KVM will configure the profiling buffer to use the EL1&0
translation regime, a setting that is obviously undesirable to be preserved
for the host running at EL2. Let's avoid this situation by explicitly
clearing E2PB in vcpu_put().
