[PATCH v2 12/16] KVM: arm64: Retry shared page table walks outside of fault handler

For a shared page walker which is not fault handler, retry the walk if
walker callback function returns -EAGAIN, or continue to the next SPTE
if callback function return -ENOENT. Update the kvm_pgtable_walk
documentation.

For fault handler logic remains same, i.e. exit the walk and resume the
guest when getting -EAGAIN and -ENOENT errors from walker callback
function.

Currently, there is no page walker which is shared and not a fault
handler, but this will change in future patches when clear-dirty-log
walker will use MMU read lock and run via shared walker.
