Subject: [PATCH v5 3/9] KVM: arm64: Relax locking for kvm_test_age_gfn and kvm_age_gfn

Replace the MMU write locks (taken in the memslot iteration loop) for
read locks.

Grabbing the read lock instead of the write lock is safe because the
only requirement we have is that the stage-2 page tables do not get
deallocated while we are walking them. The stage2_age_walker() callback
is safe to race with itself; update the comment to reflect the
synchronization change.
