[PATCH] KVM: arm64: Mark freed S2 MMUs as invalid

When freeing an S2 MMU, we free the associated pgd, but omit to
mark the structure as invalid. Subsequently, a call to
kvm_nested_s2_unmap() would pick these invalid S2 MMUs and
pass them down the teardown path.

This ends up with a nasty warning as we try to unmap an unallocated
set of page tables.

Fix this by making the S2 MMU invalid on freeing the pgd by calling
kvm_init_nested_s2_mmu().
