[PATCH v3 3/3] arm64: realm: Use aliased addresses for device DMA to shared buffers

When a device performs DMA to a shared buffer using physical addresses,
(without Stage1 translation), the device must use the "{I}PA address" with the
top bit set in Realm. This is to make sure that a trusted device will be able
to write to shared buffers as well as the protected buffers. Thus, a Realm must
always program the full address including the "protection" bit, like AMD SME
encryption bits.

Enable this by providing arm64 specific dma_addr_{encrypted, canonical}
helpers for Realms. Please note that the VMM needs to similarly make sure that
the SMMU Stage2 in the Non-secure world is setup accordingly to map IPA at the
unprotected alias.

Changes since v2:
 - Drop dma_addr_encrypted() helper, which is a NOP for CCA ( Aneesh )
 - Only mask the "top" IPA bit and not all the bits beyond top bit. ( Robin )
 - Use PROT_NS_SHARED, now that we only set/clear top bit. (Gavin)
