[PATCH v14 37/44] arm64: RMI: Prevent Device mappings for Realms

Physical device assignment is not yet supported. RMM v2.0 does add the
relevant APIs, but device assignment is a big topic so will be handled
in a future patch series. For now prevent device mappings when the guest
is a realm.

Changes from v6:
 * Fix the check in user_mem_abort() to prevent all pages that are not
   guest_memfd() from being mapped into the protected half of the IPA.
Changes from v5:
 * Also prevent accesses in user_mem_abort()
