KVM: arm64: Move host page ownership tracking to the hyp vmemmap
We currently store part of the page-tracking state in PTE software bits
for the host, guests and the hypervisor. This is sub-optimal when e.g.
sharing pages as this forces to break block mappings purely to support
this software tracking. This causes an unnecessarily fragmented stage-2
page-table for the host in particular when it shares pages with Secure,
which can lead to measurable regressions. Moreover, having this state
stored in the page-table forces us to do multiple costly walks on the
page transition path, hence causing overhead.
In order to work around these problems, move the host-side page-tracking
logic from SW bits in its stage-2 PTEs to the hypervisor's vmemmap.
