Now a vIOMMU holds a shareable nesting parent HWPT. So, it can act like that nesting parent HWPT to allocate a nested HWPT. Support that in the IOMMU_HWPT_ALLOC ioctl handler, and update its kdoc. Also, add an iommufd_viommu_alloc_hwpt_nested helper to allocate a nested HWPT for a vIOMMU object. Since a vIOMMU object holds the parent hwpt's refcount already, increase the refcount of the vIOMMU only.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
