[RFC PATCH v4 05/39] KVM: arm64: Perform CMOs on locked memslots when userspace resets VCPUs

Userspace resets a VCPU that has already run by means of a
KVM_ARM_VCPU_INIT ioctl. This is usually done after a VM shutdown and
before the same VM is rebooted, and during this interval the VM memory can
be modified by userspace (for example, to copy the original guest kernel
image). In this situation, KVM unmaps the entire stage 2 to trigger stage 2
faults, which ensures that the guest has the same view of memory as the
host's userspace.

Unmapping stage 2 is not an option for locked memslots, so instead do the
cache maintenance the first time a VCPU is run, similar to what KVM does
when a memslot is locked.
