      xen/pte: Fix crashes when trying to see non-existent PGD/PMD/PUD/PTEs · b7e5ffe5

      If I try to do "cat /sys/kernel/debug/kernel_page_tables"
      I end up with:
      
      BUG: unable to handle kernel paging request at ffffc7fffffff000
      IP: [<ffffffff8106aa51>] ptdump_show+0x221/0x480
      PGD 0
      Oops: 0000 [#1] SMP
      CPU 0
      .. snip..
      RAX: 0000000000000000 RBX: ffffc00000000fff RCX: 0000000000000000
      RDX: 0000800000000000 RSI: 0000000000000000 RDI: ffffc7fffffff000
      
      which is due to the fact we are trying to access a PFN that is not
      accessible to us. The reason (at least in this case) was that
      PGD[256] is set to __HYPERVISOR_VIRT_START which was setup (by the
      hypervisor) to point to a read-only linear map of the MFN->PFN array.
      During our parsing we would get the MFN (a valid one), try to look
      it up in the MFN->PFN tree and find it invalid and return ~0 as PFN.
      Then pte_mfn_to_pfn would happilly feed that in, attach the flags
      and return it back to the caller. 'ptdump_show' bitshifts it and
      gets and invalid value that it tries to dereference.
      
      Instead of doing all of that, we detect the ~0 case and just
      return !_PAGE_PRESENT.
      
      This bug has been in existence .. at least until 2.6.37 (yikes!)
