fix_host_ownership() walks the hypervisor's stage-1 page-table to
adjust the host's stage-2 accordingly. Any such adjustment that
requires cache maintenance operations depends on the per-CPU hyp
fixmap being present. However, fix_host_ownership() is currently
called before fix_hyp_pgtable_refcnt() and hyp_create_fixmap(), so
the fixmap does not yet exist when it runs.

This is benign today because the host stage-2 starts empty and no
CMOs are needed, but it becomes a latent crash as soon as
fix_host_ownership() is extended to operate on a non-empty
page-table.

Reorder the calls so that fix_hyp_pgtable_refcnt() and
hyp_create_fixmap() complete before fix_host_ownership() is invoked.
