KVM: arm64: Fix MTE flag initialization for protected VMs
The function pkvm_init_features_from_host() initializes guest
features, propagating them from the host. The logic to propagate
KVM_ARCH_FLAG_MTE_ENABLED (Memory Tagging Extension)
has a couple of issues.
First, the check was in the common path, before the divergence for
protected and non-protected VMs. For non-protected VMs, this was
unnecessary, as 'kvm->arch.flags' is completely overwritten by
host_arch_flags immediately after, which already contains the MTE flag.
For protected VMs, this was setting the flag even if the feature is not
allowed.
Second, the check was reading 'host_kvm->arch.flags' instead of using
the local 'host_arch_flags', which is read once from the host flags.
Fix these by moving the MTE flag check inside the protected-VM-only
path, checking if the feature is allowed, and changing it to use the
correct host_arch_flags local variable. This ensures non-protected VMs
get the flag via the bulk copy, and protected VMs get it via an explicit
check.
