[PATCH v2 2/3] kvm: arm/arm64: Take mmap_sem in kvm_arch_prepare_memory_region

From: Marc Zyngier <marc.zyngier at arm.com>

We don't hold the mmap_sem while searching for VMAs (via find_vma), in
kvm_arch_prepare_memory_region, which can end up in expected failures.

Fixes: commit 8eef91239e57 ("arm/arm64: KVM: map MMIO regions at creation time")
