    xen/arm: p2m: Don't check the return of p2m_get_root_pointer() with BUG_ON()
    
    It turns out that the BUG_ON() was actually reachable with well-crafted
    hypercalls. The BUG_ON() is here to prevent catch logical error, so
    crashing Xen is a bit over the top.
    
    While all the holes should now be fixed, it would be better to downgrade
    the BUG_ON() to something less fatal to prevent any more DoS.
    
    The BUG_ON() in p2m_get_entry() is now replaced by ASSERT_UNREACHABLE()
    to catch mistake in debug build and return INVALID_MFN for production
    build. The interface also requires to set page_order to give an idea of
    the size of "hole". So 'level' is now set so we report a hole of size of
    the an entry of the root page-table. This stays inline with what happen
    when the GFN is higher than p2m->max_mapped_gfn.
    
    The BUG_ON() in p2m_resolve_translation_fault() is now replaced by
    ASSERT_UNREACHABLE() to catch mistake in debug build and just report a
    fault for producion build.
    
    This is part of XSA-301.
