arm64: Rename the VHE switch to "finalise_el2"
as we are about to perform a lot more in 'mutate_to_vhe' than we currently do, this function really becomes the point where we finalise the basic EL2 configuration. Reflect this into the code by renaming a bunch of things: - HVC_VHE_RESTART -> HVC_FINALISE_EL2 - switch_to_vhe --> finalise_el2 - mutate_to_vhe -> __finalise_el2 No functional changes.
