P2M handling (for translated domains) is at best undefined when passing in
GFNs which aren't aligned according to the requested order.

For non-translated domains the same isn't necessarily true, and domains
may possibly be able to leverage present behavior; in fact
XENMEM_memory_exchange is known to be used in such ways. Instead the
supplied GPFN has to at least pass VALID_M2P().

In memory_exchange() go farther than merely adding checks: Restrict the
scopes of the two variables such that it becomes more clear across which
range of code the validity checks actually apply. Also don't limit
checking there to non-translated domains (as of now steal_page() would
prevent things from working on translated ones), to avoid giving bad
examples or leaving latent traps.

Furthermore, covering translated domains in memory_exchange() is forward-
looking: Right now steal_page() prevents (successful) use of that sub-op
by such domains, but there are intentions to relax that.

Fixes: e4dfe0cdba5e ("Replace dom_mem_op hypercall with memory_op hypercall 
with")
Fixes: 6f8668f57256 ("New memory hypercall 'populate_physmap'")
Fixes: 516250dac6a8 ("New memory_op XENMEM_exchange")

---
I'm not sure at all whether for the direct-mapped case the checking in
populate_physmap() is appropriate.
---
v2: Drop the paging_mode_translate() part from the two GMFN checks.
    Tighten the GPFN check in populate_physmap(). Add ChangeLog entry.

 ### Changed
  - XEN_DOMCTL_DEV_DT's, FLASK_[GS]ETBOOL's, and FLASK_DEVICETREE_LABEL's input
    string sizes need to include the nul terminator.
+ - XEMMEM_populate_physmap, XENMEM_decrease_reservation, and
+   XENMEM_memory_exchange now check input frame numbers more strictly (for
+   alignment according to the indicated order).
