x86/shadow: hold references for the duration of emulated writes

The (misnamed) emulate_gva_to_mfn() function translates a linear address to an
mfn, but releases its page reference before returning the mfn to its caller.

sh_emulate_map_dest() uses the results of one or two translations to construct
a virtual mapping to the underlying frames, completes an emulated
write/cmpxchg, then unmaps the virtual mappings.

The page references need holding until the mappings are unmapped, or the
frames can change ownership before the writes occurs.

This is XSA-219.
