[PATCH v2 17/30] KVM: arm64: Replace fault_is_perm with a helper

Carrying a boolean to indicate that a given fault is a permission fault
is slightly odd, as this is a property of the fault itself, and we'd
better avoid duplicating state.

For this purpose, introduce a kvm_s2_fault_is_perm() predicate that
can take a fault descriptor as a parameter. fault_is_perm is therefore
dropped from kvm_s2_fault.
