KVM: arm64: Revert accidental drop of kvm_uninit_stage2_mmu() for non-NV VMs

Commit 0c4762e26879 ("KVM: arm64: nv: Avoid NV stage-2 code when NV is
not supported") added an early return to several functions in
arch/arm64/kvm/nested.c to prevent a UBSAN shift-out-of-bounds error
when accessing the pgt union for non-nested VMs.

However, this early return was inadvertently applied to
kvm_arch_flush_shadow_all() as well, causing it to skip the call to
kvm_uninit_stage2_mmu(kvm) for all non-nested VMs.

For pKVM, skipping this teardown means the host never unshares the
guest's memory with the EL2 hypervisor. When the host kernel later
recycles these leaked pages for a new VM, it attempts to re-share them.
The hypervisor correctly rejects this with -EPERM, triggering a host
WARN_ON and hanging the guest.

Fix this by dropping the early return from kvm_arch_flush_shadow_all().
The for-loop guarding the nested MMU cleanup already bounds itself when
nested_mmus_size == 0, allowing execution to proceed to
kvm_uninit_stage2_mmu() as intended.
