KVM: arm64: Add helper for creating unlinked stage2 subtrees
Add a stage2 helper, kvm_pgtable_stage2_create_unlinked(), for
creating unlinked tables (which is the opposite of
kvm_pgtable_stage2_free_unlinked()). Creating an unlinked table is
useful for splitting level 1 and 2 entries into subtrees of PAGE_SIZE
PTEs. For example, a level 1 entry can be split into PAGE_SIZE PTEs
by first creating a fully populated tree, and then use it to replace
the level 1 entry in a single step. This will be used in a subsequent
commit for eager huge-page splitting (a dirty-logging optimization).
