KVM: arm64: Make block->table PTE changes parallel-aware
In order to service stage-2 faults in parallel, stage-2 table walkers
must take exclusive ownership of the PTE being worked on. An additional
requirement of the architecture is that software must perform a
'break-before-make' operation when changing the block size used for
mapping memory.
Roll these two concepts together into helpers for performing a
'break-before-make' sequence. Use a special PTE value to indicate a PTE
has been locked by a software walker. Additionally, use an atomic
compare-exchange to 'break' the PTE when the stage-2 page tables are
possibly shared with another software walker. Elide the DSB + TLBI if
the evicted PTE was invalid (and thus not subject to break-before-make).
All of the atomics do nothing for now, as the stage-2 walker isn't fully
ready to perform parallel walks.
