Subject: [PATCH v4 3/3] KVM: arm64: Reject shared table walks in the hyp code

Exclusive table walks are the only supported table walk in the hyp, as
there is no construct like RCU available in the hypervisor code. Reject
any attempt to do a shared table walk by returning an error and allowing
the caller to clean up the mess.
