[PATCH v3 05/17] 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.
Note that the generic kvm_hyp_memcache does not account for the
allocated memory. This is expected: donations to the heap allocator are
shared and recycled, they cannot be accounted for a specific VM.
