[RFC PATCH v4 08/39] KVM: arm64: Deny changes to locked memslots

Forbid userspace from making changes to a locked memslot. If userspace
wants to modify a locked memslot, then they will need to unlock it.

One special case is allowed: memslots locked for read, but not for write,
can have dirty page logging turned on.
