[PATCH] ARM/arm64: KVM: test properly for a PTE's uncachedness

The open coded tests for checking whether a PTE maps a page as
uncached use a flawed 'pte_val(xxx) & CONST != CONST' pattern,
which is not guaranteed to work since the type of a mapping is an
index into the MAIR table, not a set of mutually exclusive bits.

Considering that, on arm64, the S2 type definitions use the following
MAIR indexes

    #define MT_S2_NORMAL            0xf
    #define MT_S2_DEVICE_nGnRE      0x1

we have been getting lucky merely because the S2 device mappings also
have the PTE_UXN bit set, which means that a device PTE still does not
equal a normal PTE after masking with the former type.

Instead, implement proper checking against the MAIR indexes that are
known to define uncached memory attributes.
