[PATCH] KVM: arm64: Reload PTE after invoking walker callback on preorder traversal

[Fuad Tabba <tabba@google.com>]

The preorder callback on the kvm_pgtable_stage2_map() path can replace
a table with a block, then recursively free the detached table. The
higher-level walking logic stashes the old page table entry and
then walks the freed table, invoking the leaf callback and
potentially freeing pgtable pages prematurely.

In normal operation, the call to tear down the detached stage-2
is indirected and uses an RCU callback to trigger the freeing.
RCU is not available to pKVM, which is where this bug is
triggered.

Change the behavior of the walker to reload the page table entry
after invoking the walker callback on preorder traversal, as it
does for leaf entries.

Tested on Pixel 6.

Fixes: 5c359cca1faf ("KVM: arm64: Tear down unlinked stage-2 subtree after break-before-make")

Based on: f1fcbaa18b28 (6.4-rc2)

The bug can be triggered by applying Will's FFA series [1] to
android mainline [2] and booting a Pixel 6 in protected mode
(pKVM).
