Subject: [PATCH v2 13/23] KVM: arm64: vgic-its: Pick cache victim based on usage count

To date the translation cache LRU policy relies on the ordering of the
linked-list to pick the victim, as entries are moved to the head of the
list on every cache hit. These sort of transformations are incompatible
with an rculist, necessitating a different strategy for recording usage
in-place.

Count the number of cache hits since the last translation cache miss for
every entry. The preferences for selecting a victim are as follows:

 - Invalid entries over valid entries

 - Valid entry with the lowest usage count

 - In the case of a tie, pick the entry closest to the tail (oldest)
