The KVM page-table library refcounts the pages of concatenated stage-2
PGDs individually. However, the host's stage-2 PGD is currently managed
by EL2 as a single high-order compound page, which can cause the
refcount of the tail pages to reach 0 when they really shouldn't, hence
corrupting the page-table.

Fix this by introducing a new hyp_split_page() helper in the EL2 page
allocator (matching EL1's split_page() function), and make use of it
from host_s2_zalloc_page().

nit: this comment only applies to the protected mode, right? As far as
I can tell, 'classic' KVM is just fine.

uber nit: split_page() is not an EL1 function. more of a standard
kernel function.

The only reason this doesn't lead to a subsequent memory leak is that
concatenated page tables are always a power of two, right?

If so, that deserves a comment, because I don't think this works in
the general case unless you actively free the pages that are between
size and (1 << order).

Correct, this really only applies to the host stage-2, which implies
we're in protected mode. I'll make that a bit more explicit.

Fair enough :)

Indeed, and also because the host stage-2 is _never_ freed, so that's
not memory we're going to reclaim anyway -- we don't have an
implementation of ->free_pages_exact() in the host stage-2 mm_ops.

Ack, that'll probably confuse me too in a few weeks, so a comment won't
hurt. I'll re-spin shortly.

Thanks,
Quentin
