[PATCH v7 07/24] KVM: arm64: iommu: Shadow host stage-2 page table

Create a page-table for the IOMMU that shadows the host CPU stage-2
to establish DMA isolation.

An initial snapshot is created after the driver init, then
on every permission change a callback would be called for
the IOMMU driver to update the page table.

There are 3 different ways to add the callback:
1) In the high level memory transitions: (__pkvm_host_donate_hyp(),
  __pkvm_host_donate_guest()...

2) In Lower level functions covering all transitions
  - host_stage2_set_owner_metadata_locked() which covers:
   - __pkvm_host_donate_hyp()
   - __pkvm_host_donate_guest()
   - __pkvm_host_donate_hyp()
   - __pkvm_guest_unshare_host()
  - host_stage2_set_owner_locked() only for ID_HOST which covers:
   - __pkvm_hyp_donate_host()
   - __pkvm_host_force_reclaim_page_guest()
   - __pkvm_host_reclaim_page_guest()
  - __pkvm_guest_share_host()

3) In the lowest level function __host_update_page_state(), which
   requires only one callback. However, in that case the page state
   is not enough as we might need to know the old state also.

Option #2 was implemented here.

For some cases, an SMMUv3 may be able to share the same page-table
used with the host CPU stage-2 directly.

However, this is too strict and requires changes to the core hypervisor
page-table code, plus it would require the hypervisor to handle IOMMU
page-faults. This can be added later as an optimization for SMMUV3.
