[PATCH] drivers/io-pgtable-arm: Fix stage concatenation with 16K

According to the Arm spec DDI0487 K.a, in:
"Table D8-9 Implications of the effective minimum T0SZ value on the
initial stage 2 lookup level"

Some combinations of granule and input size with stage-2 would
require to use initial lookup levels that can only be achieved
with concatenated PGDs.

There was one missing case in the current implementation for 16K,
which is 40-bits.
