    x86/shadow: polish shadow_write_entries()
    
    First of all, avoid the initial dummy write: Try to write the actual
    new value instead, and start the loop from 1 if this was successful.
    Further, drop safe_write_entry() and use write_atomic() instead. This
    eliminates the need for the BUILD_BUG_ON() there at the same time.
    
    Then
    - use const and unsigned,
    - drop a redundant NULL check,
    - don't open-code PAGE_OFFSET() and IS_ALIGNED(),
    - adjust comment style.
