KVM: arm64: Implement do_donate() helper for donating memory
Transferring ownership information of a memory region from one component to another can be achieved using a "donate" operation, which results in the previous owner losing access to the underlying pages entirely and the new owner having exclusive access to the page. Implement a do_donate() helper, along the same lines as do_{un,}share, and provide this functionality for the host-{to,from}-hyp cases as this will later be used to donate/reclaim memory pages to store VM metadata at EL2. In a similar manner to the sharing transitions, permission checks are performed by the hypervisor to ensure that the component initiating the transition really is the owner of the page and also that the completer does not currently have a page mapped at the target address.
