[PATCH v3 10/15] KVM: arm64: Atomically update stage 2 leaf attributes in parallel walks

The stage2 attr walker is already used for parallel walks. Since commit
f783ef1c0e82 ("KVM: arm64: Add fast path to handle permission relaxation
during dirty logging"), KVM acquires the read lock when
write-unprotecting a PTE. However, the walker only uses a simple store
to update the PTE. This is safe as the only possible race is with
hardware updates to the access flag, which is benign.

However, a subsequent change to KVM will allow more changes to the stage
2 page tables to be done in parallel. Prepare the stage 2 attribute
walker by performing atomic updates to the PTE when walking in parallel.
