[PATCH 15/22] KVM: arm64: Don't set HCR_EL2.TVM when S2FWB is supported

From: Christoffer Dall <christoffer.dall@arm.com>

On CPUs that support S2FWB (Armv8.4+), KVM configures the stage 2 page
tables to override the memory attributes of memory accesses, regardless
of the stage 1 page table configurations, and also when the stage 1 MMU
is turned off. This results in all memory accesses to RAM being
cacheable, including during early boot of the guest.

On CPUs without this feature, memory accesses were non-cacheable during
boot until the guest turned on the stage 1 MMU, and we had to detect
when the guest turned on the MMU, such that we could invalidate all cache
entries and ensure a consistent view of memory with the MMU turned on.
When the guest turned on the caches, we would call stage2_flush_vm()
from kvm_toggle_cache().

However, stage2_flush_vm() walks all the stage 2 tables, and calls
__kvm_flush-dcache_pte, which on a system with S2FWB does ... absolutely
nothing.

We can avoid that whole song and dance, and simply not set TVM when
creating a VM on a system that has S2FWB.
