KVM: arm64: Atomically update stage 2 leaf attributes in parallel walks
The stage2 attr walker is already used for parallel walks. Since commit f783ef1c ("KVM: arm64: Add fast path to handle permission relaxation during dirty logging"), KVM acquires the read lock when write-unprotecting a PTE. However, the walker only uses a simple store to update the PTE. This is safe as the only possible race is with hardware updates to the access flag, which is benign. However, a subsequent change to KVM will allow more changes to the stage 2 page tables to be done in parallel. Prepare the stage 2 attribute walker by performing atomic updates to the PTE when walking in parallel.
