[PATCH v2 2/3] KVM: arm64: Fix __pkvm_init_vm error path

In the unlikely case where insert_vm_table_entry fails, __pkvm_init_vm
release the memory donated by the host for the PGD, but as the stage-2
is still set-up the hypervisor keeps a refcount on those pages,
effectively leaking the references.
Fix the rollback with the newly added kvm_guest_destroy_stage2().
Fixes: 256b4668cd89 ("KVM: arm64: Introduce separate hypercalls for pKVM VM reservation and initialization")
