kvm: arm/arm64: Rework gpa callback handlers
In order to perform an operation on a gpa range, we currently iterate over each page in a user memory slot for the given range. This is inefficient while dealing with a big range (e.g, a VMA), especially while unmaping a range. At present, with stage2 unmap on a range with a hugepage backed region, we clear the PMD when we unmap the first page in the loop. The remaining iterations simply traverse the page table down to the PMD level only to see that nothing is in there. This patch reworks the code to invoke the callback handlers on the biggest range possible within the memory slot to to reduce the number of times the handler is called.
