KVM: arm64: Protect stage-2 traversal with RCU
Use RCU to safely walk the stage-2 page tables in parallel. Acquire and release the RCU read lock when traversing the page tables. Defer the freeing of table memory to an RCU callback. Indirect the calls into RCU and provide stubs for hypervisor code, as RCU is not available in such a context. The RCU protection doesn't amount to much at the moment, as readers are already protected by the read-write lock (all walkers that free table memory take the write lock). Nonetheless, a subsequent change will futher relax the locking requirements around the stage-2 MMU, thereby depending on RCU.
