[PATCH v1 1/2] KVM: arm64: Fix kvm init failure when mode!=vhe and VA_BITS=52.

For nvhe and protected modes, the hyp stage 1 page-table was previously
configured to have the same number of VA bits as the kernel's idmap.
However, for kernel configs with VA_BITS=52 and where the kernel is
loaded in physical memory below 48 bits, the idmap VA bits is actually
smaller than the kernel's normal stage 1 VA bits. This can lead to
kernel addresses that can't be mapped into the hypervisor, leading to
kvm initialization failure during boot:

  kvm [1]: IPA Size Limit: 48 bits
  kvm [1]: Cannot map world-switch code
  kvm [1]: error initializing Hyp mode: -34

Fix this by ensuring that the hyp stage 1 VA size is the maximum of
what's used for the idmap and the regular kernel stage 1. At the same
time, refactor the code so that the hyp VA bits is only calculated in
one place.

Fixes: 7ba8f2b2d652 ("arm64: mm: use a 48-bit ID map when possible on
52-bit VA builds")

Prior to the above mentioned change, the idmap was always 52 bits for a
52 VA bits kernel and therefore the hyp stage1 was also always 52 bits.
