xenpaging: correct dropping pages to avoid full ring buffer
Doing a one-way channel from Xen to xenpaging is not possible with the
current ring buffer implementation. xenpaging uses the mem_event ring
buffer, which expects request/response pairs to make progress. The
previous patch, which tried to establish a one-way communication from
Xen to xenpaging, stalled the guest once the buffer was filled up with
requests. Correct page-dropping by taking the slow path and let
p2m_mem_paging_resume() consume the response from xenpaging. This makes
room for yet another request/response pair and avoids hanging guests.
