KVM: arm64: Limit stage2_apply_range() batch size to largest block



Presently stage2_apply_range() works on a batch of memory addressed by a
stage 2 root table entry for the VM. Depending on the IPA limit of the
VM and PAGE_SIZE of the host, this could address a massive range of
memory. Some examples:

  4 level, 4K paging -> 512 GB batch size

  3 level, 64K paging -> 4TB batch size

Unsurprisingly, working on such a large range of memory can lead to soft
lockups. When running dirty_log_perf_test:

  ./dirty_log_perf_test -m -2 -s anonymous_thp -b 4G -v 48

  watchdog: BUG: soft lockup - CPU#0 stuck for 45s! [dirty_log_perf_:16703]

Use the largest supported block mapping for the configured page size as
the batch granularity. In so doing the walker is guaranteed to visit a
leaf only once.
