[PATCH] arm64: KVM: fix 2-level page tables unmapping

When using 64kB pages, we only have two levels of page tables,
meaning that PGD, PUD and PMD are fused. In this case, trying
to refcount PUDs and PMDs independantly is a a complete disaster,
as they are the same.
We manage to get it right for the allocation (stage2_set_pte uses
{pmd,pud}_none), but the unmapping path clears both pud and pmd
refcounts, which fails spectacularly with 2-level page tables.
The fix is to avoid calling clear_pud_entry when both the pmd and
pud pages are empty. For this, and instead of introducing another
pud_empty function, consolidate both pte_empty and pmd_empty into
page_empty (the code is actually identical) and use that to also
test the validity of the pud.
