[PATCH v1 1/5] KVM: arm64: Enable ring-based dirty memory tracking

The ring-based dirty memory tracking has been available and enabled
on x86 for a while. The feature is beneficial when the number of
dirty pages is small in a checkpointing system or live migration
scenario. More details can be found from fb04a1eddb1a ("KVM: X86:
Implement ring-based dirty memory tracking").

This enables the ring-based dirty memory tracking on ARM64. It's
notable that no extra reserved ring entries are needed on ARM64
because the huge pages are always split into base pages when page
dirty tracking is enabled.
