Ignore kvm-arm.mode if !is_hyp_mode_available(). Specifically, we want
to avoid switching kvm_mode to KVM_MODE_PROTECTED if hypervisor mode is
not available. This prevents "Protected KVM" cpu capability being
reported when Linux is booting in EL1 and would not have KVM enabled.
Reasonably though, we should warn if the command line is requesting a
KVM mode at all if KVM isn't actually available. Don't emit warning for
"kvm-arm.mode=none" since this would disable KVM anyway.
