[RFC PATCH v7 25/28] KVM: arm64: at: Use callback for reading descriptor

Allow callers of __kvm_translate_va() to use a custom function for reading
the translation table descriptor from guest memory. This will be useful for
handling stage 2 faults reported by SPE, to map the stage 1 translation
tables at stage 2.
