KVM: arm/arm64: Handle possible NULL stage2 pud when ageing pages
Under memory pressure, we start ageing pages, which amounts to parsing
the page tables. Since we don't want to allocate any extra level,
we pass NULL for our private allocation cache. Which means that
stage2_get_pud() is allowed to fail. This results in the following
splat:

The trivial fix is to handle this NULL pud value early, rather than
dereferencing it blindly.
