[RFC PATCH 5/6] KVM: arm64: Optimize the stage2 map path with TLBI range instructions

Currently, when the map path of stage2 page-table coalesces a
bunch of pages into a hugepage, KVM invalidates the entire
VM's TLB entries. This would cause a perforamance penality for
the guest whose pages have already been coalesced earlier as they
would have to refill their TLB entries unnecessarily again.

Hence, if the system supports it, use __kvm_tlb_flush_range_vmid_ipa()
to flush only the range of pages that have been combined into
a hugepage, while leaving other TLB entries alone.
