KVM: arm64: Use page-table to track page ownership



As the host stage 2 will be identity mapped, all the .hyp memory regions
and/or memory pages donated to protected guestis will have to marked
invalid in the host stage 2 page-table. At the same time, the hypervisor
will need a way to track the ownership of each physical page to ensure
memory sharing or donation between entities (host, guests, hypervisor) is
legal.

In order to enable this tracking at EL2, let's use the host stage 2
page-table itself. The idea is to use the top bits of invalid mappings
to store the unique identifier of the page owner. The page-table owner
(the host) gets identifier 0 such that, at boot time, it owns the entire
IPA space as the pgd starts zeroed.

Provide kvm_pgtable_stage2_set_owner() which allows to modify the
ownership of pages in the host stage 2. It re-uses most of the map()
logic, but ends up creating invalid mappings instead. This impacts
how we do refcount as we now need to count invalid mappings when they
are used for ownership tracking.
