Always split up huge pages to avoid problems managing huge pages. There
are two issues currently:

1. The uABI for the VMM allows populating memory on 4k boundaries even
    if the underlying allocator (e.g. hugetlbfs) is using a larger page
    size. Using a memfd for private allocations will push this issue onto
    the VMM as it will need to respect the granularity of the allocator.

2. The guest is able to request arbitrary ranges to be remapped as
    shared. Again with a memfd approach it will be up to the VMM to deal
    with the complexity and either overmap (need the huge mapping and add
    an additional 'overlapping' shared mapping) or reject the request as
    invalid due to the use of a huge page allocator.

For now just break everything down to 4k pages in the RMM controlled
stage 2.

Since a memory abort is specific to a vCPU instead of a VM, so vcpu_is_rec()
instead of kvm_is_realm() is more accurate for the check. Besides, it looks
duplicate to the check added by "PATCH[20/43] arm64: RME: Runtime faulting
of memory", which is as below.

       /* FIXME: We shouldn't need to disable this for realms */
       if (vma_pagesize == PAGE_SIZE && !(force_pte || device || kvm_is_realm(kvm))) {
                                                                 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Thanks,
