[PATCH v3] KVM: arm64: Fix protected VM fault on system with pages larger than 4K

Just like commit 08f97454b7fa ("KVM: arm64: Fix protected mode handling
of pages larger than 4kB") fixed the boot of non-protected VMs on system
larger than 4K pages, align the fault IPA down to the page-size for
protected VMs.

To paraphrase Marc, pkvm_pgtable_stage2_map() assumes the address passed
as a parameter is aligned to the size of the intended mapping, while
HPFAR_EL2 gives the IPA minus the bottom 12 bits, regardless of the
system page size configuration.

Add a check at the start of pkvm_pgtable_stage2_map() as we do not
support !PAGE_ALIGNED arguments and ensure callers pass a page-aligned
IPA.

v3: 
  - Fix nested case in gmem_abort() (Sashiko)

v2: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20260914075839.4019904-1-vdonnefort@google.com/

  - Use gfn_to_gpa(gfn)
  - Drop "phys" from the PAGE_ALIGNED check, it isn't a requirement.
  - Fix gmem_abort() as well (Sashiko)
