From: Marc Zyngier <marc.zyngier@xxxxxxx>
commit 4c47eb1c18c38b755eb4894a6ca38f834de3ec23 upstream.
The kprobe enablement work has uncovered that changes made by
a guest to MDSCR_EL1 were propagated to the host when VHE was
enabled, leading to unexpected exception being delivered.
Moving this register to the list of registers that are always
context-switched fixes the issue.
Fixes: 9c6c35683286 ("arm64: KVM: VHE: Split save/restore of registers shared between guest and host")
