KVM: arm64: Don't print warning when trapping SPE registers



KVM sets up MDCR_EL2 to trap accesses to the SPE buffer and sampling
control registers and it relies on the fact that KVM injects an undefined
exception for unknown registers. This mechanism of injecting undefined
exceptions also prints a warning message for the host kernel; for example,
when a guest tries to access PMSIDR_EL1:

[    2.691830] kvm [142]: Unsupported guest sys_reg access at: 80009e78 [800003c5]
[    2.691830]  { Op0( 3), Op1( 0), CRn( 9), CRm( 9), Op2( 7), func_read },

This is unnecessary, because KVM has explicitly configured trapping of
those registers and is well aware of their existence. Prevent the warning
by adding the SPE registers to the list of registers that KVM emulates.
The access function will inject the undefined exception.
