Currently, RISC-V KVM hardcodes the G-stage page table format (HGATP mode)
to the maximum mode detected at boot time (e.g., SV57x4 if supported). but
often such a wide GPA is unnecessary, just as a host sometimes doesn't need
sv57.
This patch introduces per-VM configurability of the G-stage mode via a new
KVM capability: KVM_CAP_RISCV_SET_HGATP_MODE. User-space can now explicitly
request a specific HGATP mode (SV39x4, SV48x4, or SV57x4 on 64-bit) during
VM creation.
