[PATCH] KVM: arm64: Optimize protected mode and FWB

[Mostafa Saleh]

KVM opportunistically enables FWB if supported by the system for guest
VMs, which allows it to elude cache maintenance for data as they are
forced to be cacheable from stage-2.
In that case, __clean_dcache_guest_page() will immediately return.
However in protected mode, before calling __clean_dcache_guest_page()
it loops over the range and fix_map/unmap it, issuing TLB
invalidations, dsb() and isb() unnecessarily.

This can be optimized by returning early if FWB is supported,
kvm_pgtable_stage2_map() already issues dsb() and tlb invalidation
functions issue dsb() for the unmap path.
