    xen/arm64: Don't blindly unmask interrupts on trap without a change of level
    
    Some of the traps without a change of the level (i.e. hypervisor ->
    hypervisor) will unmask interrupts regardless the state of them in the
    interrupted context.
    
    One of the consequences is IRQ will be unmasked when receiving a
    synchronous exception (used by WARN*()). This could result to unexpected
    behavior such as deadlock (if a lock was shared with interrupts).
    
    In a nutshell, interrupts should only be unmasked when it is safe to
    do. Xen only unmask IRQ and Abort interrupts, so the logic can stay
    simple:
        - hyp_error: All the interrupts are now kept masked. SError should
          be pretty rare and if ever happen then we most likely want to
          avoid any other interrupts to be generated. The potential main
          "caller" is during virtual SError synchronization on the exit
          path from the guest (see check_pending_vserror).
    
        - hyp_sync: The interrupts state is inherited from the interrupted
          context.
    
        - hyp_irq: All the interrupts but IRQ state are inherited from the
          interrupted context. IRQ is kept masked.
    
    This is part of XSA-303.
