KVM: arm64: Use local TLBI on permission relaxation
Broadcast TLB invalidations (TLBIs) targeting the Inner Shareable
Domain are usually less performant than their non-shareable variant.
In particular, we observed some implementations that take
millliseconds to complete parallel broadcasted TLBIs.
It's safe to use non-shareable TLBIs when relaxing permissions on a
PTE in the KVM case. According to the ARM ARM (0487I.a) section
D8.13.1 "Using break-before-make when updating translation table
entries", permission relaxation does not need break-before-make.
Specifically, R_WHZWS states that these are the only changes that
require a break-before-make sequence: changes of memory type
(Shareability or Cacheability), address changes, or changing the block
size.
