Convert to use vm_map_pages_zero() to map range of kernel memory to user
vma.
This driver has ignored vm_pgoff. We could later "fix" these drivers to
behave according to the normal vm_pgoff offsetting simply by removing the
_zero suffix on the function name and if that causes regressions, it gives
us an easy way to revert.

struct privcmd_buf_vma_private has a zero-sized array at the end
(pages), use the new struct_size() helper to determine the proper
allocation size and avoid potential type mistakes.

Currently the size of hypercall buffers allocated via
/dev/xen/hypercall is limited to a default of 64 memory pages. For live
migration of guests this might be too small as the page dirty bitmask
needs to be sized according to the size of the guest. This means
migrating a 8GB sized guest is already exhausting the default buffer
size for the dirty bitmap.
There is no sensible way to set a sane limit, so just remove it
completely. The device node's usage is limited to root anyway, so there
is no additional DOS scenario added by allowing unlimited buffers.
While at it make the error path for the -ENOMEM case a little bit
cleaner by setting n_pages to the number of successfully allocated
pages instead of the target size.

For passing arbitrary data from user land to the Xen hypervisor the
Xen tools today are using mlock()ed buffers. Unfortunately the kernel
might change access rights of such buffers for brief periods of time
e.g. for page migration or compaction, leading to access faults in the
hypervisor, as the hypervisor can't use the locks of the kernel.
In order to solve this problem add a new device node to the Xen privcmd
driver to easily allocate hypercall buffers via mmap(). The memory is
allocated in the kernel and just mapped into user space. Marked as
VM_IO the user mapping will not be subject to page migration et al.
