KVM: Restrict non-existing slot state transitions
The API documentation states: When changing an existing slot, it may be moved in the guest physical memory space, or its flags may be modified. An "existing slot" requires a non-zero npages (memory_size). The only transition we should therefore allow for a non-existing slot should be to create the slot, which includes setting a non-zero memory_size. We currently allow calls to modify non-existing slots, which is pointless, confusing, and possibly wrong. With this we know that the invalidation path of __kvm_set_memory_region is always for a delete or move and never for adding a zero size slot.
