From: Roger Pau Monné <roger.pau@citrix.com>
Subject: x86/p2m: truly free paging pool memory for dying domains

Modify {hap,shadow}_free to free the page immediately if the domain is
dying, so that pages don't accumulate in the pool when
{shadow,hap}_final_teardown() get called. This is to limit the amount of
work which needs to be done there (in a non-preemptable manner).

Note the call to shadow_free() in shadow_free_p2m_page() is moved after
increasing total_pages, so that the decrease done in shadow_free() in
case the domain is dying doesn't underflow the counter, even if just for
a short interval.

This is part of CVE-2022-33746 / XSA-410.
