KVM: arm/arm64: Skip updating PTE entry if no change
commit 976d34e2dab10ece5ea8fe7090b7692913f89084 upstream.
When there is contention on faulting in a particular page table entry
at stage 2, the break-before-make requirement of the architecture can
lead to additional refaulting due to TLB invalidation.
Avoid this by skipping a page table update if the new value of the PTE
matches the previous value.
