[PATCH v2 17/22] KVM: arm64: Introduce kvm_pgtable_stage2_table_install()

The existing kvm_pgtable_stage2_split() is unfit for pKVM: it relies on
kvm_mmu_memory_cache which pKVM doesn't use and has no easy way to
handle pKVM-specific annotations.

Add the pgtable helper kvm_pgtable_stage2_table_install() so pKVM can
handle block splitting in mem_protect.c. That helper can take a table
either populated with kvm_pgtable_stage2_create_unlinked() or one filled
with annotations.
