KVM: arm64: Rename the device variable to s2_force_noncacheable
To perform cache maintenance on a region of memory, KVM/arm64 relies on
that region having a cacheable alias in the kernel's address space which
can be used with CMO instructions.
The 'device' variable is somewhat of a misnomer, as it actually
indicates whether or not the stage-2 alias is allowed to have cacheable
memory attributes. The resulting stage-2 memory attributes are further
modified by VM_ALLOW_ANY_UNCACHED, selecting between Normal-NC or
Device-nGnRE depending on what the endpoint supports.
Rename the to s2_force_noncacheable such that its purpose is a bit more
obvious.
