Subject: arm: KVM: Fix incorrect device to IPA mapping

commit ca09f02f122b2ecb0f5ddfc5fd47b29ed657d4fd upstream.

A critical bug has been found in device memory stage1 translation for
VMs with more then 4GB of address space. Once vm_pgoff size is smaller
then pa (which is true for LPAE case, u32 and u64 respectively) some
more significant bits of pa may be lost as a shift operation is performed
on u32 and later cast onto u64.

Example: vm_pgoff(u32)=0x00210030, PAGE_SHIFT=12
        expected pa(u64):   0x0000002010030000
        produced pa(u64):   0x0000000010030000

The fix is to change the order of operations (casting first onto phys_addr_t
and then shifting).
