Subject: xenpaging: update machine_to_phys_mapping during page-in and page deallocation

The machine_to_phys_mapping array needs updating during page-in, and
during page deallocation.  If a page is gone, a call to
get_gpfn_from_mfn will still return the old gfn for an already paged-out
page.  This happens when the entire guest ram is paged-out before
xen_vga_populate_vram() runs.  Then XENMEM_populate_physmap is called
with gfn 0xff000.  A new page is allocated with alloc_domheap_pages.
This new page does not have a gfn yet.  However, in
guest_physmap_add_entry() the passed mfn maps still to an old gfn
(perhaps from another old guest).  This old gfn is in paged-out state in
this guests context and has no mfn anymore.  As a result, the ASSERT()
triggers because p2m_is_ram() is true for p2m_ram_paging* types.

If the machine_to_phys_mapping array is updated properly, both loops in
guest_physmap_add_entry() turn into no-ops for the new page and the
mfn/gfn mapping will be done at the end of the function.

The same thing needs to happen dring a page-in, the current gfn must be
written for the page.

If XENMEM_add_to_physmap is used with XENMAPSPACE_gmfn,
get_gpfn_from_mfn() will return an appearently valid gfn.  As a result,
guest_physmap_remove_page() is called.  The ASSERT in p2m_remove_page
triggers because the passed mfn does not match the old mfn for the
passed gfn.

v3:
  invalidate machine_to_phys_mapping[] during page deallocation
v2:
  call set_gpfn_from_mfn only if mfn is valid
