To reuse the ptdump code for shadow page table dumping later, let's pass
s2 mmu as the private data, so we have the freedom to select which page
table to print.

Exposing shadow page tables in debugfs improves the debugability and
testability of NV. With this patch a new directory "nested" is created
for each VM created if the host is NV capable. Within the directory each
valid s2 mmu will have its shadow page table exposed as a readable file
with the file name formatted as 0x<vttbr>-0x<vtcr>-s2-{en,dis}abled. The
creation and removal of the files happen at the points when an s2 mmu
becomes valid, or the context it represents change. In the future the
"nested" directory can also hold other NV related information.
This is gated behind CONFIG_PTDUMP_STAGE2_DEBUGFS.
