To prepare the ground for allowing hyp stage-1 mappings to be removed at
run-time, update the KVM page-table code to maintain a correct refcount
using the ->{get,put}_page() function callbacks.

In the case where we're just updating software bits for a valid pte, doesn't
this result in us taking a spurious reference to the page?

This looks pretty similar to the stage-2 walker now, but given how small the
functions are, I'm not sure we'd really gain much by abstracting the "pte
counted" check.
