x86: limit linear page table use to a single level

x86: limit linear page table use to a single level

That's the only way that they're meant to be used. Without such a
restriction arbitrarily long chains of same-level page tables can be
built, tearing down of which may then cause arbitrarily deep recursion,
causing a stack overflow. To facilitate this restriction, a counter is
being introduced to track both the number of same-level entries in a
page table as well as the number of uses of a page table in another
same-level one (counting into positive and negative direction
respectively, utilizing the fact that both counts can't be non-zero at
the same time).

Note that the added accounting introduces a restriction on the number
of times a page can be used in other same-level page tables - more than
32k of such uses are no longer possible.

Note also that some put_page_and_type[_preemptible]() calls are
replaced with open-coded equivalents.  This seemed preferrable to
adding "parent_table" to the matrix of functions.

Note further that cross-domain same-level page table references are no
longer permitted (they probably never should have been).

This is XSA-240.
