[PATCH v2] KVM: arm/arm64: Handle hva aging while destroying the vm

The kvm_age_hva callback may be called all the way concurrently while
kvm_mmu_notifier_release() is running.

The release function sets kvm->arch.pgd = NULL which the aging function
however implicitly relies on in stage2_get_pud(). That means they can
race and the aging function may dereference a NULL pgd pointer.

This patch adds a check for that case, so that we leave the aging
function silently.
