Summary
KVM: arm64: nv: Drop bogus WARN for write to ZCR_EL2
Details

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

KVM: arm64: nv: Drop bogus WARN for write to ZCR_EL2

It is entirely possible for a guest to write to the ZCR_EL2 sysreg alias while in a nested context, as it is expected if FEAT_NV2 is advertised to the L1 hypervisor.
