[PATCH v2 12/43] arm64: RME: Keep a spare page delegated to the RMM

Pages can only be populated/destroyed on the RMM at the 4KB granule,
this requires creating the full depth of RTTs. However if the pages are
going to be combined into a 4MB huge page the last RTT is only
temporarily needed. Similarly when freeing memory the huge page must be
temporarily split requiring temporary usage of the full depth oF RTTs.

To avoid needing to perform a temporary allocation and delegation of a
page for this purpose we keep a spare delegated page around. In
particular this avoids the need for memory allocation while destroying
the realm guest.
