Sean Christopherson 0577d1abe7 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.
