While debugging issues related to aarch64 only systems I ran into
speedbumps due to the lack of detail in the results reported when the
guest register read and reset value preservation tests were run, they
generated an immediately fatal assert without indicating which register
was being tested. Update these tests to non-fatally report a standard
kselftest result per register, making it much easier to see what the
problem being reported is.

A similar issue exists with the validation of the individual bitfields
in registers due to the use of immediately fatal asserts. Update those
asserts to be standard kselftest reports.
