[PATCH v5 24/25] KVM: arm64: Don't unnecessarily map host kernel sections at EL2

From: Quentin Perret <qperret at google.com>
We no longer need to map the host's '.rodata' and '.bss' sections in the
stage-1 page-table of the pKVM hypervisor at EL2, so remove those
mappings and avoid creating any future dependencies at EL2 on
host-controlled data structures.
