[PATCH v6 1/5] KVM: arm64: Block cacheable PFNMAP mapping

[ankita at nvidia.com]

From: Ankit Agrawal <ankita at nvidia.com>

Fixes a security bug due to mismatched attributes between S1 and
S2 mapping.

Currently, it is possible for a region to be cacheable in S1, but mapped
non cached in S2. This creates a potential issue where the VMM may
sanitize cacheable memory across VMs using cacheable stores, ensuring
it is zeroed. However, if KVM subsequently assigns this memory to a VM
as uncached, the VM could end up accessing stale, non-zeroed data from
a previous VM, leading to unintended data exposure. This is a security
risk.

Block such mismatch attributes case by returning EINVAL when userspace
try to map PFNMAP cacheable. Only allow NORMAL_NC and DEVICE_*.
