Subject: [PATCH 2/6] KVM: arm64: Use 0b11 for encoding PKVM_NOPAGE

The page ownership state encoded as 0b11 is currently considered
reserved for future use, and PKVM_NOPAGE uses bit 2. In order to
simplify the relocation of the hyp ownership state into the
vmemmap in later patches, let's use the 'reserved' encoding for
the PKVM_NOPAGE state. The struct hyp_page layout isn't guaranteed
stable at all, so there is no real reason to have 'reserved' encodings.

No functional changes intended.
