KVM: arm64: Indicate SYSTEM_RESET2 in kvm_run::system_event flags field
When handling reset and power-off PSCI calls from the guest, we initialise X0 to PSCI_RET_INTERNAL_FAILURE in case the VMM tries to re-run the vCPU after issuing the call. Unfortunately, this also means that the VMM cannot see which PSCI call was issued and therefore cannot distinguish between PSCI SYSTEM_RESET and SYSTEM_RESET2 calls, which is necessary in order to determine the validity of the "reset_type" in X1. Allocate bit 0 of the previously unused 'flags' field of the system_event structure so that we can indicate the PSCI call used to initiate the reset.
