    x86/vmx: Fix security issue when a guest balloons out the #VE info page
    
    The logic in altp2m_vcpu_{en,dis}able_ve() and vmx_vcpu_update_vmfunc_ve() 
is
    dangerous.  After #VE has been set up, the guest can balloon out and free 
the
    nominated GFN, after which the processor may write to it.  Also, the 
unlocked
    GFN query means the MFN is stale by the time it is used.  Alternatively, a
    guest can race two disable calls to cause one VMCS to still reference the
    nominated GFN after the tracking information was dropped.
    
    Rework the logic from scratch to make it safe.
    
    Hold an extra page reference on the underlying frame, to account for the
    VMCS's reference.  This means that if the GFN gets ballooned out, it isn't
    freed back to Xen until #VE is disabled, and the VMCS no longer refers to 
the
    page.
    
    A consequence of this is that altp2m_vcpu_disable_ve() needs to be called
    during the domain_kill() path, to drop the reference for domains which shut
    down with #VE still enabled.
    
    For domains using altp2m, we expect a single enable call and no disable for
    the remaining lifetime of the domain.  However, to avoid problems with
    concurrent calls, use cmpxchg() to locklessly maintain safety.
    
    This doesn't have an XSA because altp2m is not yet a security-supported
    feature.
