KVM: arm64: Optimize host memory aborts

The kvm_pgtable_stage2_find_range() function is used in the host memory
abort path to try and look for the largest block mapping that can be
used to map the faulting address. In order to do so, the function
currently walks the stage-2 page-table and looks for existing
incompatible mappings within the range of the largest possible block.
If incompatible mappings are found, it tries the same procedure again,
but using a smaller block range, and repeats until a matching range is
found (potentially up to page granularity). While this approach has
benefits (mostly in the fact that it proactively coalesces host stage-2
mappings), it can be slow if the ranges are fragmented, and it isn't
optimized to deal with CPUs faulting on the same IPA as all of them will
do all the work every time.

To avoid these issues, remove kvm_pgtable_stage2_find_range(), and walk
the page-table only once in the host_mem_abort() path to find the
closest leaf to the input address. With this, use the corresponding
range if it is invalid and not owned by another entity. If a valid leaf
is found, return -EAGAIN similar to what is done in the
kvm_pgtable_stage2_map() path to optimize concurrent faults.
