kvm: arm64: Limit the minimum number of page table levels

mainline inclusion
from mainline-v4.20-rc1
commit 58b3efc8
category: feature
feature: Dynamic IPA and 52bit IPA support

-------------------------------------------------

Since we are about to remove the lower limit on the IPA size,
make sure that we do not go to 1 level page table (e.g, with
32bit IPA on 64K host with concatenation) to avoid splitting
the host PMD huge pages at stage2.
