KVM: arm64: Inject UNDEF when accessing MTE sysregs with MTE disabled

When MTE hardware is present but disabled via software (`arm64.nomte` or
`CONFIG_ARM64_MTE=n`), the kernel clears `HCR_EL2.ATA` and sets
`HCR_EL2.TID5`, to prevent the use of MTE instructions.

Additionally, accesses to certain MTE system registers trap to EL2 with
exception class ESR_ELx_EC_SYS64. To emulate hardware without MTE (where
such accesses would cause an Undefined Instruction exception), inject
UNDEF into the host.
