[PATCH 4/7] KVM: arm64: Allocate guard pages near hyp stacks

From: Quentin Perret <qperret at google.com>

Allocate unbacked VA space underneath each stack page to ensure stack
overflows get trapped and don't corrupt memory silently.

The stack is aligned to twice its size (PAGE_SIZE), meaning that any
valid stack address has PAGE_SHIFT bit as 0. This allows us to easily
check for overflow in the exception entry without corrupting any GPRs.
