KVM: PPC: Book3S: Allocate guest TCEs on demand too



We already allocate hardware TCE tables in multiple levels and skip
intermediate levels when we can, now it is a turn of the KVM TCE tables.
Thankfully these are allocated already in 2 levels.

This moves the table's last level allocation from the creating helper to
kvmppc_tce_put() and kvm_spapr_tce_fault(). Since such allocation cannot
be done in real mode, this creates a virtual mode version of
kvmppc_tce_put() which handles allocations.

This adds kvmppc_rm_ioba_validate() to do an additional test if
the consequent kvmppc_tce_put() needs a page which has not been allocated;
if this is the case, we bail out to virtual mode handlers.

The allocations are protected by a new mutex as kvm->lock is not suitable
for the task because the fault handler is called with the mmap_sem held
but kvmhv_setup_mmu() locks kvm->lock and mmap_sem in the reverse order.
