[PATCH v3 3/3] KVM: arm64: top up stage 2 memcache for dirty logging faults

[Bradley Morgan]

Dirty logging forces new stage 2 mappings down to page size, but
it does not always remove an existing block mapping before the next
fault. Eager splitting is best effort and is disabled by default.

A permission fault on such a block can still need a page table page
to install the smaller mapping. Top up the memcache for any permission
fault while dirty logging is active, not only for write faults.

The issue was discovered [1] by Sashiko.
