KVM: arm64: CCA: Tear down RTTs

This commit adds stage-2 unmapping and RTT destruction for CCA Realms,
walking and undelegating non-root RTTs before destroying the Realm
Descriptor.

[Severity: Low]
Can SMC_RMI_RTT_DESTROY return RMI_ERROR_RTT with next_addr > addr (and
next_addr < addr + map_size) when the target RTT at level has non-live
initial entries followed by a live child table entry, or does the walk
terminate at level - 1?  This rests on an RMM specification detail for
SMC_RMI_RTT_DESTROY that could not be confirmed from the kernel source.

If RMM returns RMI_RESULT_DATA_LEVEL(ret) == level with addr < next_addr <
addr + map_size, the next_addr > addr check treats the live RTT as missing
and advances addr to the unaligned next_addr.  The next iteration sees
align_addr != addr, tears down the remaining child RTTs at level + 1, and
executes continue, advancing to the next map_size boundary without retrying
realm_rtt_destroy() on the parent RTT at level.  Alternatively, if the walk
terminates at the parent entry and returns RMI_RESULT_DATA_LEVEL(ret) ==
level - 1 with next_addr == addr, WARN_ON(RMI_RESULT_DATA_LEVEL(ret) !=
level) triggers and aborts teardown with -EBUSY, leaving the RD and RTTs
leaked.

[Severity: Low]
Does returning early on failure in realm_destroy_rtts() (or the surrounding
RMI teardown calls) leak realm->sro?  Unlike realm->rd and the stage-2 PGD
pages, realm->sro is host-owned heap memory that is never delegated to the
RMM, and kfree(realm->sro) at the end of kvm_destroy_realm() is skipped on
these early returns.
