[PATCH] KVM: arm64: Reject the stage-2 MMU pointer hypercalls under pKVM

The five hypercalls that take a struct kvm_s2_mmu pointer remain
callable after pKVM finalises, and each dereferences the host pointer
in __load_stage2(). Under pKVM none of them has a valid caller: the
host walks no guest stage-2, its TLB flushes go through the handle-based
__pkvm_tlb_flush_vmid, and kvm_arch_vcpu_load() skips the CPU context
flush.

Reject all five when protected mode is enabled.
