arm64: mops: Document booting requirement for HCR_EL2.MCE2
Document that hypervisors must set HCR_EL2.MCE2 and handle MOPS exceptions when they migrate a vCPU to another type of CPU, as Linux may not be able to handle the exception at all times. As one example, when running under nested virtualization, KVM does not handle MOPS exceptions from the nVHE/hVHE EL2 hyp as the hyp is never migrated, so the host hypervisor needs to handle them. There may be other situations (now or in the future) where the kernel can't handle an unexpected MOPS exception, so require that the hypervisor handles them.
