xen: fix scrub_page()
Impact: fix guest kernel crash with CONFIG_XEN_SCRUB_PAGES=y Jens noticed that scrub_page() has a buggy unmap of the wrong thing. (virtual address instead of page) Linus pointed out that the whole scrub_page() code is an unnecessary reimplementation of clear_highpage() to begin with. Just use clear_highpage() rather than reimplementing it poorly.
