x86/shadow: don't enable shadow mode with too small a shadow allocation

We've had more than one report of host crashes after failed migration,
and in at least one case we've had a hint towards a too far shrunk
shadow allocation pool. Instead of just checking the pool for being
empty, check whether the pool is smaller than what
shadow_set_allocation() would minimally bump it to if it was invoked in
the first place.
