[PATCH v2] dom0/pvh: fix processing softirqs during memory map population

[Roger Pau Monne <roger.pau@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Make sure softirqs are processed after every successful call to
guest_physmap_add_page. Even if only a single page is to be added,
it's unknown whether the p2m or the IOMMU will require splitting the
provided page into smaller ones, and thus in case of having to break
a 1G page into 4K entries the amount of time taken by a single of
those additions will be non-trivial. Stay on the safe side an check
for pending softirqs on ever successful loop iteration.

Changes since v1:
 - Unconditionally process softirqs after every successful loop
   iteration.
