KVM: arm64: Cap KVM_CAP_NR_VCPUS by kvm_arm_default_max_vcpus()
Generally, it doesn't make sense to return the recommended maximum number of vCPUs which exceeds the maximum possible number of vCPUs. Note: ARM64 is special as the value returned by KVM_CAP_MAX_VCPUS differs depending on whether it is a system-wide ioctl or a per-VM one. Previously, KVM_CAP_NR_VCPUS didn't have this difference and it seems preferable to keep the status quo. Cap KVM_CAP_NR_VCPUS by kvm_arm_default_max_vcpus() which is what gets returned by system-wide KVM_CAP_MAX_VCPUS.
