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.
