RISC-V KVM can overwrite an existing G-stage table entry when installing
a huge leaf mapping. If the target huge range already has a lower-level
page table, kvm_riscv_gstage_set_pte() can replace the non-leaf entry
with a leaf PTE. This disconnects the lower-level page table and can
change guest-visible mappings or leak the page-table page.
Reject replacing a valid non-leaf PTE with a leaf PTE. If huge-page
installation hits such a conflict, fall back to a 4K mapping for the
faulting GPA and leave the existing page-table structure intact.
