[PATCH v3 14/15] arch/arm64: Introduce a capability to tell whether 16-bit VMID is available

[Julien Grall]

At the moment, the function kvm_get_vmid_bits() is looking up for the
sanitized value of ID_AA64MMFR1_EL1 and extract the information
regarding the number of VMID bits supported.

This is fine as the function is mainly used during VMID roll-over. New
use in a follow-up patch will require the function to be called a every
context switch so we want the function to be more efficient.

A new capability is introduced to tell whether 16-bit VMID is
available.
