KVM: arm64: Separate allocation and insertion of pKVM VM table entries

Browse source

The current insert_vm_table_entry() function performs two actions at
once: it finds a free slot in the pKVM VM table and populates it with
the pkvm_hyp_vm pointer.

Refactor this function as a preparatory step for future work that will
require reserving a VM slot and its corresponding handle earlier in the
VM lifecycle, before the pkvm_hyp_vm structure is initialized and ready
to be inserted.

Split the function into a two-phase process:

- A new allocate_vm_table_entry() function finds an empty slot, marks it
  as reserved with a RESERVED_ENTRY placeholder, and returns a handle
  derived from the slot's index.

- The insert_vm_table_entry() function is repurposed to take the handle,
  validate that the corresponding slot is in the reserved state, and
  then populate it with the pkvm_hyp_vm pointer.
