[PATCH v2 22/35] KVM: arm64: Change 'pkvm_handle_t' to u16

'pkvm_handle_t' doesn't need to be a 32-bit type and subsequent patches
will rely on it being no more than 16 bits so that it can be encoded
into a pte annotation.

Change 'pkvm_handle_t' to a u16 and add a compile-type check that the
maximum handle fits into the reduced type.
