KVM: arm64: Fix memory leak on stage2 update of a valid PTE
When installing a new leaf PTE onto an invalid ptep, we need to
get_page(ptep) to account for the new mapping.
However, simply updating a valid PTE shouldn't result in any
additional refcounting, as there is new mapping. This otherwise
results in a page being forever wasted.
Address this by fixing-up the refcount in stage2_map_walker_try_leaf()
if the PTE was already valid, balancing out the later get_page()
in stage2_map_walk_leaf().
