[PATCH v5 12/15] KVM: arm64: Derive the VM hardware dirty mode from dirty logging

[Tian Zheng <zhengtian10@huawei.com>]

Both HAFDBS and HDBSS flip VTCR_EL2.HD at memslot-update time. Two
independent toggles allow an intermediate HDBSS-set/HD-clear state,
an illegal combination, and need locking against concurrent updates.

Replace both with kvm_arch_update_hw_dirty_mode(), a pure function
of the static capabilities and the number of logging memslots:

  - logging && HDBSS-capable  -> HD|HA|HDBSS
  - logging, no HDBSS         -> off
  - !logging && HAFDBS-cap.   -> HD|HA

Recomputing rather than toggling needs no locking against racing
writers, and a vCPU created mid-migration inherits the current mode
from the shared VTCR at its first vcpu_load().

The HAFDBS leg is not gated on nested virtualization: shadow MMUs
build their own VTCR without HD, and the L1-visible HAFDBS ID is
capped at AF-only. The HDBSS leg stays gated for now, as the nested
exit-flush and harvest paths are unaudited.

kvm_s2_fault_compute_prot() consults the live HD state of the target
MMU rather than the canonical VTCR, so a nested read fault does not
install a writable-clean shadow entry, which is read-only under the
HD-less shadow VTCR.

The mode switch issues one KVM_REQ_RELOAD_STAGE2 followed by a
VMID-wide TLB invalidation, as the request only reloads VTCR_EL2 and
cached translations outlive the old mode. HA is always set together
with HD, as FEAT_HDBSS requires VTCR_EL2.{HDBSS,HA,HD}.

Also factor kvm_has_nv() out of vcpu_has_nv() for the VM-level HDBSS
check.

This is a rework of Leonardo Bras' "Enable HAFDBS for guests not on
migration".
