There is an existing macro (PROT_NS_SHARED), which is preferred to return
prot_ns_shared or 0 depending on the availability of the realm capability.
However, that macro needs to be improved a bit so that it can be used here.
We need to return 0UL to match with the type of prot_ns_shared (unsigned long)

-#define PROT_NS_SHARED         (is_realm_world() ? prot_ns_shared : 0)
+#define PROT_NS_SHARED         (is_realm_world() ? prot_ns_shared : 0UL)

After that, the chunk of code can be as below.

	return daddr | PROT_NS_SHARED;

With PROT_NS_SHARED, it can become something like below. (PROT_NS_SHARED - 1)
is equivalent to -1UL, 'daddr & -1UL' should be fine since it does nothing.

	return daddr & (PROT_NS_SHARED - 1);
