Mark Brown reports that since we commit to making exceptions visible without the vcpu being loaded, the external abort selftest fails.
Upon investigation, it turns out that the code that makes registers affected by an exception visible to the guest is completely broken on VHE, as we don't check whether the system registers are loaded on the CPU at this point. We managed to get away with this so far, but that's obviously as bad as it gets,
Add the required checksm and document the absolute need to check for the SYSREGS_ON_CPU flag before calling into any of the __vcpu_write_sys_reg_to_cpu()__vcpu_read_sys_reg_from_cpu() helpers.
