    xen/arm: traps: Avoid unnecessary VA -> IPA translation in abort handlers
    
    Translating a VA to a IPA is expensive. Currently, Xen is assuming that
    HPFAR_EL2 is only valid when the stage-2 data/instruction abort happened
    during a translation table walk of a first stage translation (i.e S1PTW
    is set).
    
    However, based on the ARM ARM (D7.2.34 in DDI 0487A.j), the register is
    also valid when the data/instruction abort occured for a translation
    fault.
    
    With this change, the VA -> IPA translation will only happen for
    permission faults that are not related to a translation table of a
    first stage translation.
