[PATCH 3/6] KVM: arm64: Make stage2_pte_cacheable() return false when S2_AS_S1 is set

We cannot tell from the S2 attributes whether what we map is memory
or not when S2_AS_S1 is set, and issuing a CMO on device memory may
not be the best idea.
In this particular case, pretend that the mapping isn't cacheable.
