[PATCH v2 6/7] KVM: arm64: Defer EL2 stage-1 mapping on share

We currently blindly map into EL2 stage-1 *any* page passed to the
__pkvm_host_share_hyp() HVC. This is less than ideal from a security
perspective as it makes exploitation of potential hypervisor gadgets
easier than it should be. But interestingly, pKVM should never need to
access SHARED_BORROWED pages that it hasn't previously pinned, so there
is no need to map the page before that.
