KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: Handle memory slot deletion and modification correctly

Browse source 
This adds an implementation of kvm_arch_flush_shadow_memslot for
Book3S HV, and arranges for kvmppc_core_commit_memory_region to
flush the dirty log when modifying an existing slot.  With this,
we can handle deletion and modification of memory slots.

kvm_arch_flush_shadow_memslot calls kvmppc_core_flush_memslot, which
on Book3S HV now traverses the reverse map chains to remove any HPT
(hashed page table) entries referring to pages in the memslot.  This
gets called by generic code whenever deleting a memslot or changing
the guest physical address for a memslot.

We flush the dirty log in kvmppc_core_commit_memory_region for
consistency with what x86 does.  We only need to flush when an
existing memslot is being modified, because for a new memslot the
rmap array (which stores the dirty bits) is all zero, meaning that
every page is considered clean already, and when deleting a memslot
we obviously don't care about the dirty bits any more.
