The grant v2 support was removed from the kernel with
commit 438b33c7145ca8a5131a30c36d8f59bce119a19a ("xen/grant-table:
remove support for V2 tables") as the higher memory footprint of v2
grants resulted in less grants being possible for a kernel compared
to the v1 grant interface.
As machines with more than 16TB of memory are expected to be more
common in the near future support of grant v2 is mandatory in order
to be able to run a Xen pv domain at any memory location.
So re-add grant v2 support basically by reverting above commit.

arch_gnttab_map_frames() and arch_gnttab_unmap_frames() are called in
atomic context but were calling alloc_vm_area() which might sleep.
Also, if a driver attempts to allocate a grant ref from an interrupt
and the table needs expanding, then the CPU may already by in lazy MMU
mode and apply_to_page_range() will BUG when it tries to re-enable
lazy MMU mode.
These two functions are only used in PV guests.
Introduce arch_gnttab_init() to allocates the virtual address space in
advance.
Avoid the use of apply_to_page_range() by using saving and using the
array of PTE addresses from the alloc_vm_area() call (which ensures
that the required page tables are pre-allocated).

Since 11c7ff17c9b6dbf3a4e4f36be30ad531a6cf0ec9 (xen/grant-table: Force
to use v1 of grants.) the code for V2 grant tables is not used.

N.B. 'alloc_vm_area' pre-allocates the pagetable so there is no need
to worry about having to do a PGD/PUD/PMD walk (like apply_to_page_range
does) and we can instead do set_pte.

This correctly sizes it as 64 bit on ARM but leaves it as unsigned
long on x86 (therefore no intended change on x86).
The long and ulong guest handles are now unused (and a bit dangerous)
so remove them.
