[PATCH 02/14] KVM: arm64: Optimize kvm_pgtable_stage2_find_range()

The kvm_pgtable_stage2_find_range() function is used in the host memory
abort path to try and look for the largest block mapping that can be
used to map the faulting address. In order to do so, the function
currently walks the stage-2 page-table and looks for existing
incompatible mappings within the range of the largest possible block.
If incompatible mappings are found, it tries the same procedure again,
but using a smaller block range, and repeats until a matching range is
found (potentially up to page granularity). While this approach has
benefits (mostly in the fact that it proactively coalesces host stage-2
mappings), it can be slow if the ranges are fragmented, and it isn't
optimized to deal with CPUs faulting on the same IPA as all of them will
do all the work every time.

To avoid these issues, rework kvm_pgtable_stage2_find_range() by walking
the page-table only once to find the closest leaf to the input address,
and return its corresponding range if it is invalid and not owned by
another entity. If a valid leaf is found, return -EAGAIN similar to what
is done in the kvm_pgtable_stage2_map() path to optimize concurrent
faults.
