    x86/mm: fix a reference counting error in MMU_MACHPHYS_UPDATE
    
    Any domain which can pass the XSM check against a translated guest can 
cause a
    page reference to be leaked.
    
    While shuffling the order of checks, drop the quite-pointless MEM_LOG().  
This
    brings the check in line with similar checks in the vicinity.
    
    Discovered while reviewing the XSA-109/110 followup series.
    
    This is XSA-113.
