KVM: Terminate memslot walks via used_slots
Refactor memslot handling to treat the number of used slots as the de facto size of the memslot array, e.g. return NULL from id_to_memslot() when an invalid index is provided instead of relying on npages==0 to detect an invalid memslot. Rework the sorting and walking of memslots in advance of dynamically sizing memslots to aid bisection and debug, e.g. with luck, a bug in the refactoring will bisect here and/or hit a WARN instead of randomly corrupting memory. Alternatively, a global null/invalid memslot could be returned, i.e. so callers of id_to_memslot() don't have to explicitly check for a NULL memslot, but that approach runs the risk of introducing difficult-to- debug issues, e.g. if the global null slot is modified. Constifying the return from id_to_memslot() to combat such issues is possible, but would require a massive refactoring of arch specific code and would still be susceptible to casting shenanigans. Add function comments to update_memslots() and search_memslots() to explicitly (and loudly) state how memslots are sorted. Opportunistically stuff @hva with a non-canonical value when deleting a private memslot on x86 to detect bogus usage of the freed slot. No functional change intended.
