    x86/shadow: drop (replace) bogus assertions
    
    The addition of a call to shadow_blow_tables() from shadow_teardown()
    has resulted in the "no vcpus" related assertion becoming triggerable:
    If domain_create() fails with at least one page successfully allocated
    in the course of shadow_enable(), or if domain_create() succeeds and
    the domain is then killed without ever invoking XEN_DOMCTL_max_vcpus.
    Note that in-tree tests (test-resource and test-tsx) do exactly the
    latter of these two.
    
    The assertion's comment was bogus anyway: Shadow mode has been getting
    enabled before allocation of vCPU-s for quite some time. Convert the
    assertion to a conditional: As long as there are no vCPU-s, there's
    nothing to blow away.
    
    Fixes: e7aa55c0aab3 ("x86/p2m: free the paging memory pool preemptively")
    Reported-by: Andrew Cooper <andrew.cooper3@xxxxxxxxxx>
    
    A similar assertion/comment pair exists in _shadow_prealloc(); the
    comment is similarly bogus, and the assertion could in principle trigger
    e.g. when shadow_alloc_p2m_page() is called early enough. Replace those
    at the same time by a similar early return, here indicating failure to
    the caller (which will generally lead to the domain being crashed in
    shadow_prealloc()).
