When KVM is in VHE mode, the host kernel tries to save and restore the configuration of CPACR_EL1.ZEN (i.e. CPTR_EL2.ZEN when HCR_EL2.E2H=1) across kvm_arch_vcpu_load_fp() and kvm_arch_vcpu_put_fp(), since the configuration may be clobbered by hyp when running a vCPU. This logic is currently redundant.
The VHE hyp code unconditionally configures CPTR_EL2.ZEN to 0b01 when returning to the host, permitting host kernel usage of SVE.
Now that the host eagerly saves and unbinds its own FPSIMD/SVE/SME state, there's no need to save/restore the state of the EL0 SVE trap. The kernel can safely save/restore state without trapping, as described above, and will restore userspace state (including trap controls) before returning to userspace.
Remove the redundant logic.
