[PATCH v5 05/69] KVM: arm64: Allow preservation of the S2 SW bits

The S2 page table code has a limited use the SW bits, but we are about
to need them to encode some guest Stage-2 information (its mapping size
in the form of the TTL encoding).

Propagate the SW bits specified by the caller, and store them into
the corresponding entry.
