xen/arm: p2m: Populate pages for GICv2 mapping in p2m_init()

Hardware using GICv2 needs to create a P2M mapping of 8KB GICv2 area
when the domain is created. Considering the worst case of page tables
which requires 6 P2M pages as the two pages will be consecutive but not
necessarily in the same L3 page table and keep a buffer, populate 16
pages as the default value to the P2M pages pool in p2m_init() at the
domain creation stage to satisfy the GICv2 requirement. For GICv3, the
above-mentioned P2M mapping is not necessary, but since the allocated
16 pages here would not be lost, hence populate these pages
unconditionally.

With the default 16 P2M pages populated, there would be a case that
failures would happen in the domain creation with P2M pages already in
use. To properly free the P2M for this case, firstly support the
optionally preemption of p2m_teardown(), then call p2m_teardown() and
p2m_set_allocation(d, 0, NULL) non-preemptively in p2m_final_teardown().
As non-preemptive p2m_teardown() should only return 0, use a
BUG_ON to confirm that.

Since p2m_final_teardown() is called either after
domain_relinquish_resources() where relinquish_p2m_mapping() has been
called, or from failure path of domain_create()/arch_domain_create()
where mappings that require p2m_put_l3_page() should never be created,
relinquish_p2m_mapping() is not added in p2m_final_teardown(), add
in-code comments to refer this.
