[PATCH][4.15] x86/shadow: replace bogus return path in shadow_get_page_from_l1e()



Prior to be640b1800bb ("x86: make get_page_from_l1e() return a proper
error code") a positive return value did indicate an error. Said commit
failed to adjust this return path, but luckily the only caller has
always been inside a shadow_mode_refcounts() conditional.

Subsequent changes caused 1 to end up at the default (error) label in
the caller's switch() again, but the returning of 1 (== _PAGE_PRESENT)
is still rather confusing here, and a latent risk.

Convert to an ASSERT() instead, just in case any new caller would
appear.
