[PATCH v2 19/35] KVM: arm64: Avoid pointless annotation when mapping host-owned pages

When a page is transitioned to host ownership, we can eagerly map it
into the host stage-2 page-table rather than going via the convoluted
step of a faulting annotation to trigger the mapping.
Call host_stage2_idmap_locked() directly when transitioning a page to
be owned by the host.
