    x86/HVM: tidy state on hvmemul_map_linear_addr()'s error path
    
    While in the vast majority of cases failure of the function will not
    be followed by re-invocation with the same emulation context, a few
    very specific insns - involving multiple independent writes, e.g. ENTER
    and PUSHA - exist where this can happen. Since failure of the function
    only signals to the caller that it ought to try an MMIO write instead,
    such failure also cannot be assumed to result in wholesale failure of
    emulation of the current insn. Instead we have to maintain internal
    state such that another invocation of the function with the same
    emulation context remains possible. To achieve that we need to reset MFN
    slots after putting page references on the error path.
    
    Note that all of this affects debugging code only, in causing an
    assertion to trigger (higher up in the function). There's otherwise no
    misbehavior - such a "leftover" slot would simply be overwritten by new
    contents in a release build.
    
    Also extend the related unmap() assertion, to further check for MFN 0.

mappings")
