Initialize VTTBR_EL2 when bypassing EL2

In the situation that EL1 is selected as the exception level for the
next image upon BL31 exit for a processor that supports EL2, the
context management code must configure all essential EL2 register
state to ensure correct execution of EL1.

VTTBR_EL2 should be part of this set of EL2 registers because:
 - The ARMv8-A architecture does not define a reset value for this
   register.
 - Cache maintenance operations depend on VTTBR_EL2.VMID even when
   non-secure EL1&0 stage 2 address translation are disabled.

This patch initializes the VTTBR_EL2 register to 0 when bypassing EL2
to address this issue. Note that this bug has not yet manifested
itself on FVP or Juno because VTTBR_EL2.VMID resets to 0 on the
Cortex-A53 and Cortex-A57.
