[PATCH v2 1/3] KVM: arm64: Add a stage2 page fault counter for kvm_stat

This counter is meant to detect stage 2 page fault exits. This is meant to
measure how much those page fault influence the performance (by comparing
this number of exits to some other exit causes).
For now this counter is generic, but some more granularity is planned in
the next commits so that one know how much of the page fault are for memory
allocation, or for mmio for instance. The idea being that one using this
counter can get a better idea of what is trigerring those exits to try to
fix it.
