core: mm: add CFG_PGT_CACHE_ENTRIES

Add CFG_PGT_CACHE_ENTRIES to allow platforms to customize the page
table cache size. This is needed for example when a platform is to
support very large TAs of several dozen of Mbytes of private memory
(code/data).

Move PGT_CACHE_SIZE macro definition from pgt_cache.h to pgt_cache.c
since it is used only in that source file.

By the way, fix pgt_cache.h layout to have header files includes first
followed by macro definitions.

core: simplify pgt interface provided by pgt_cache.h

Many of the function in the pgt interface takes more than one pointer to
struct pgt_cache, struct vm_info or struct ts_ctx. All these pointers
are available in struct user_mode_ctx so pass a pointer to that struct
instead. This saves a few function arguments and also makes it a bit
more clear how a function can be used.

pgt_clear_ctx_range(), pgt_flush_ctx_range() and pgt_flush_ctx() are
renamed to drop the "_ctx" part in their names since it's not relevant
any longer.

core: pgt: support preallocated translation tables for S-EL0

With CFG_CORE_PREALLOC_EL0_TBLS=y translation tables are allocated for a
user space context at the time when the mapping is added a struct
vm_region. The translation tables will be kept available for the S-EL0
context as long at the mappings are unchanged.

Secure Partitions (SPs) can depend on translation tables always being
available and avoid having to wait for translation tables.

Memory for the translation tables is allocated from the same memory as
used for TAs and SPs. The number of available translation tables are
limited by the amount of TA/SP memory available.

core: pgt: rename to pgt_put_all() and pgt_get_all()

The two functions pgt_free() and pgt_alloc() has names which doesn't
match well what they do so rename them.

pgt_free() to pgt_put_all():
This matches better how page tables are managed since pgt_put_all()
doesn't free the tables, they are just put in a cache list from which
they later can be free or re-allocated.

pgt_alloc() to pgt_get_all():
pgt_get_all() may actually not allocate a new table, not if it can be
found in the cache list.

core: pgt: use pgt_cache_list without pager too

Prior to this patch was only unused pgts cached when paging was enabled.
Take this one step further and cache unused pgts when paging is disabled
too. The purpose of this is to allow core_mmu_populate_user_map() to
skip already initialized translation tables.

Add two helper functions pgt_pop_from_cache_list() and
pgt_push_to_cache_list() to be used when updating the translation tables
currently in the cache list.

core: remove save_ctx parameter from pgt_free()

Prior to this patch was pgt_free() taking a save_ctx parameter which was
only used if paging of TAs was enabled. If on the other hand paging of
TAs was enabled this parameter was always true. So simplify the logic by
removing this parameter and where used internally always do as if
save_ctx was true. This means that pgts used for paging will always
first be pushed to the cache list to later be reclaimed by other means.

This patch does not change the de facto behaviour.

core: handle large holes in S-EL0 map

Prior to this patch it was assumed that the memory map of a user mode
context had no holes or very small holes. This leads to a higher pressure
on the translation tables than necessary.

So fix this by skipping to allocate translation tables for holes in the
memory map of a user mode context where possible.
