[PATCH 2/4] KVM: arm64: Match hyp text by physical address in fix_host_ownership()

On a non-hVHE host, fix_host_ownership_walker()'s test for PAGE_HYP_EXEC
never matches: KVM_PGTABLE_PROT_UX is cleared at map time and only PX is
reported on read-back. Hyp text is therefore donated rather than left
read-only in the host stage-2, and the instruction dump in
nvhe_hyp_panic_handler() reads a page the host has no access to.
Match the text by physical address instead, in a helper a later patch
reuses. A test on the permissions would leave any other executable
mapping host-readable too.
Fixes: 80cbfd7174f31 ("KVM: arm64: Honor UX/PX attributes for EL2 S1 mappings")
