[PATCH v2 05/18] KVM: arm64: Allow kvm_hyp_memcache usage outside of stage-2

Although currently limited to guest stage-2 page-table allocations,
struct kvm_hyp_memcache is a useful primitive for passing a list of
discontiguous pages between host and hypervisor.
Introduce init_hyp_memcache() to initialise a generic hyp memcache, and
init_hyp_stage2_memcache() for stage-2 specific memcaches. The generic
initialiser will be used to top up the upcoming pKVM heap allocator.
