arm64: KVM: Fix stage-2 PGD allocation to have per-page refcounting

We're using __get_free_pages with to allocate the guest's stage-2
PGD. The standard behaviour of this function is to return a set of
pages where only the head page has a valid refcount.

This behaviour gets us into trouble when we're trying to increment
the refcount on a non-head page:

page:ffff7c00cfb693c0 count:0 mapcount:0 mapping:          (null) index:0x0
flags: 0x4000000000000000()
page dumped because: VM_BUG_ON_PAGE((*({ __attribute__((unused)) typeof((&page->_count)->counter) __var = ( typeof((&page->_count)->counter)) 0; (volatile typeof((&page->_count)->counter) *)&((&page->_count)->counter); })) <= 0)
BUG: failure at include/linux/mm.h:548/get_page()!

CPU0: stopping

A possible approach for this is to split the compound page using
split_page() at allocation time, and change the teardown path to
free one page at a time.  It turns out that alloc_pages_exact() and
free_pages_exact() does exactly that.

While we're at it, the PGD allocation code is reworked to reduce
duplication.

This has been tested on an X-Gene platform with a 4kB/48bit-VA host
kernel, and kvmtool hacked to place memory in the second page of
the hardware PGD (PUD for the host kernel). Also regression-tested
on a Cubietruck (Cortex-A7).

 [ Reworked to use alloc_pages_exact() and free_pages_exact() and to
   return pointers directly instead of by reference as arguments
