[PATCH v4 6/7] KVM: arm64: Relax locking for kvm_test_age_gfn and kvm_age_gfn

[James Houghton <jthoughton@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Replace the MMU write locks for read locks.

Grabbing the read lock instead of the write lock is safe because the
only requirement we have is that the stage-2 page tables do not get
deallocated while we are walking them. The stage2_age_walker() callback
is safe to race with itself; update the comment to reflect the
synchronization change.
