[Xen-devel] [PATCH] memory: fix XSA-158 fix

["Jan Beulich" <JBeulich@xxxxxxxx>]

For one the uses of domu_max_order and ptdom_max_order were swapped.

And then gcc warns about an unused result of a __must_check function
in the control part of a conditional expression when both other
expressions can be determined by the compiler to produce the same value
(see https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=68039), which happens
when HAS_PASSTHROUGH is undefined (i.e. for ARM on 4.4 and older).
