[RFC PATCH] KVM: arm64: Add prejudgement for relaxing permissions only case in stage2 translation fault handler

In dirty-logging, or dirty-logging-stopped time, even normal running
time of a guest configed with huge mappings and numbers of vCPUs,
translation faults by different vCPUs on the same GPA could occur
successively almost at the same time. There are two reasons for it.
(1) If there are some vCPUs accessing the same GPA at the same time
and the leaf PTE is not set yet, then they will all cause translation
faults and the first vCPU holding mmu_lock will set valid leaf PTE,
and the others will later choose to update the leaf PTE or not.
(2) When changing a leaf entry or a table entry with break-before-make,
if there are some vCPUs accessing the same GPA just catch the moment
when the target PTE is set invalid in a BBM procedure coincidentally,
they will all cause translation faults and will later choose to update
the leaf PTE or not.
The worst case can be like this: some vCPUs cause translation faults
on the same GPA with different prots, they will fight each other by
changing back access permissions of the PTE with break-before-make.
And the BBM-invalid moment might trigger more unnecessary translation
faults. As a result, some useless small loops will occur, which could
lead to vCPU stuck.
To avoid unnecessary update and small loops, add prejudgement in the
translation fault handler: Skip updating the valid leaf PTE if we are
trying to recreate exactly the same mapping or to reduce access
permissions only(such as RW-->RO). And update the valid leaf PTE without
break-before-make if we are trying to add more permissions only.
