[PATCH v6 02/12] arm64/mm: Add lpa2_is_enabled() kvm_lpa2_is_enabled() stubs

Add stub functions which is initially always return false. These provide
the hooks that we need to update the range-based TLBI routines, whose
operands are encoded differently depending on whether lpa2 is enabled or
not.

The kernel and kvm will enable the use of lpa2 asynchronously in future,
and part of that enablement will involve fleshing out their respective
hook to advertise when it is using lpa2.

Since the kernel's decision to use lpa2 relies on more than just whether
the HW supports the feature, it can't just use the same static key as
kvm. This is another reason to use separate functions. lpa2_is_enabled()
is already implemented as part of Ard's kernel lpa2 series. Since kvm
will make its decision solely based on HW support, kvm_lpa2_is_enabled()
will be defined as system_supports_lpa2() once kvm starts using lpa2.
