When an EL2 entry of __kvm_hyp_vector is taken, it means an entry from a

already applied vector hardening if needed, so there is no need to do it
again.

Only apply vector hardening for exception coming from lower EL.

I think it would be cleaner to take the EL as a macro parameter, but again,
I defer to Marc and Christoffer.

I'd argue they don't have much in common here. Unless I put the branch for the el2 ventry after 27 nops like for the el1, we wouldn't gain much from putting the two in the same macro IMO.

I'll see what Marc and Christoffer think about it.

Thanks,
