KVM: arm64: Add a range to __pkvm_host_donate_guest()

This commit updates the __pkvm_host_donate_guest() hypercall to accept a
nr_pages argument, enabling it to map block-sized pages (e.g., PMD_SIZE) in
both the guest and host stage-2 page tables. It also updates various selftest
and pkvm mappings to pass the new argument.

[Severity: High]
Does this code safely handle block mappings on reclaim?

If __pkvm_host_donate_guest() installs a block mapping (when nr_pages = 512),
wouldn't __pkvm_host_reclaim_page_guest() fail to reclaim it because
get_valid_guest_pte() explicitly rejects block mappings?

arch/arm64/kvm/hyp/nvhe/mem_protect.c:get_valid_guest_pte() {
    ...
	if (level != KVM_PGTABLE_LAST_LEVEL)
		return -E2BIG;
    ...
}

Similarly, wouldn't a hardware poison event calling
__pkvm_host_force_reclaim_page_guest() trigger a fatal hypervisor panic
when reading the block-level annotation, due to the WARN_ON in
host_stage2_get_guest_info()?

arch/arm64/kvm/hyp/nvhe/mem_protect.c:host_stage2_get_guest_info() {
    ...
	ret = kvm_pgtable_get_leaf(&host_mmu.pgt, phys, &pte, &level);
    ...
	if (WARN_ON(level != KVM_PGTABLE_LAST_LEVEL))
		return -EINVAL;
    ...
}
