During a two-stage (VS-stage + G-stage) page-table walk with hardware
A/D updating enabled (Svadu / menvcfg.ADUE), a store that reaches a
VS-stage leaf PTE whose accessed or dirty bit is clear triggers a
hardware write-back of those bits into the PTE. That write-back is an
implicit store to the PTE's guest-physical address, so it must be
permitted by G-stage.

Fix this by re-running the G-stage translation of the guest PTE's
address with store semantics. get_physical_address() then also checks
that G-stage permits the guest PTE to be written, and raises a
guest-page store fault when it does not.

 Verified against Spike, with this patch QEMU's
 reported values match Spike.

 Spike (reference):        QEMU, before this patch:
    mcause 0x17               mcause 0x17
    mtval  0x80000000         mtval  0x80000000
    mtval2 0x20001004         mtval2 0x20000000
    mtinst 0x3020             mtinst 0x6a704073

 If I've misread any of the A/D-update semantics here, I'd appreciate the
 correction.
