Marek reported a BUG resulting from the recent parallel faults changes,
as the hyp stage-1 map walker attempted to allocate table memory while
holding the RCU read lock:
BUG: sleeping function called from invalid context at

Since the hyp stage-1 table walkers are serialized by kvm_hyp_pgd_mutex,
RCU protection really doesn't add anything. Don't acquire the RCU read
lock for an exclusive walk. While at it, add a warning which codifies
the lack of support for shared walks in the hypervisor code.

Applies on top of the parallel faults series that was picked up last
week. Tested with kvm-arm.mode={nvhe,protected} on an Ampere Altra
system.
v1 -> v2:
- Took Will's suggestion of conditioning RCU on a flag, small tweak to
use existing bit instead (Thanks!)
