From: Andrew Cooper <andrew.cooper3@citrix.com>
Subject: x86/pv: Clean up _get_page_type()

Various fixes for clarity, ahead of making complicated changes.

 * Split the overflow check out of the if/else chain for type handling, as
   it's somewhat unrelated.
 * Comment the main if/else chain to explain what is going on.  Adjust one
   ASSERT() and state the bit layout for validate-locked and partial states.
 * Correct the comment about TLB flushing, as it's backwards.  The problem
   case is when writeable mappings are retained to a page becoming read-only,
   as it allows the guest to bypass Xen's safety checks for updates.
 * Reduce the scope of 'y'.  It is an artefact of the cmpxchg loop and not
   valid for use by subsequent logic.  Switch to using ACCESS_ONCE() to treat
   all reads as explicitly volatile.  The only thing preventing the validated
   wait-loop being infinite is the compiler barrier hidden in cpu_relax().
 * Replace one page_get_owner(page) with the already-calculated 'd' already in
   scope.

No functional change.

This is part of XSA-401 / CVE-2022-26362.
