[PATCH] KVM: arm/arm64: Signal SIGBUS when stage2 discovers hwpoison memory

Once we enable ARCH_SUPPORTS_MEMORY_FAILURE on arm64[0], notifications for
broken memory can call memory_failure() in mm/memory-failure.c to deliver
SIGBUS to any user space process using the page, and notify all the
in-kernel users.

If the page corresponded with guest memory, KVM will unmap this page
from its stage2 page tables. The user space process that allocated
this memory may have never touched this page in which case it may not
be mapped meaning SIGBUS won't be delivered.

When this happens KVM discovers pfn == KVM_PFN_ERR_HWPOISON when it
comes to process the stage2 fault.

Do as x86 does, and deliver the SIGBUS when we discover
KVM_PFN_ERR_HWPOISON. Use the stage2 mapping size as the si_addr_lsb
as this matches the user space mapping size.

 Without this patch both kvmtool and Qemu exit as the KVM_RUN ioctl() returns
 EFAULT.
 QEMU: error: kvm run failed Bad address
 LVKM: KVM_RUN failed: Bad address

 With this patch both kvmtool and Qemu receive SIGBUS ... and then exit.
 In the future Qemu can use this signal to notify the guest, for more details
 see hwpoison[1].
