move TLB-flush filtering out into populate_physmap during vm creation
This patch implemented parts of TODO left in commit id
a902c12ee45fc9389eb8fe54eeddaf267a555c58 (More efficient TLB-flush
filtering in alloc_heap_pages()). It moved TLB-flush filtering out into
populate_physmap. Because of TLB-flush in alloc_heap_pages, it's very slow
to create a guest with memory size of more than 100GB on host with 100+
cpus.
This patch introduced a "MEMF_no_tlbflush" bit to memflags to indicate
whether TLB-flush should be done in alloc_heap_pages or its caller
populate_physmap. Once this bit is set in memflags, alloc_heap_pages will
ignore TLB-flush. To use this bit after vm is created might lead to
security issue, that is, this would make pages accessible to the guest B,
when guest A may still have a cached mapping to them.
Therefore, this patch also introduced a "creation_finished" field to struct
domain to indicate whether this domain has ever got unpaused by hypervisor.
MEMF_no_tlbflush can be set only during vm creation phase when
creation_finished is still false before this domain gets unpaused for the
first time.
