arm64 requires a vcpu fd (KVM_HAS_DEVICE_ATTR vcpu ioctl) to probe support for steal-time. However this is unnecessary, as only a KVM fd is required, and it complicates userspace (userspace may prefer delaying vcpu creation until after feature probing). Introduce a cap that can be checked instead. While x86 can already probe steal-time support with a kvm fd (KVM_GET_SUPPORTED_CPUID), we add the cap there too for consistency.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
