x86/shadow: fix refcount overflow check

Commit c385d27079 ("x86 shadow: for multi-page shadows, explicitly track
the first page") reduced the refcount width to 25, without adjusting the
overflow check. Eliminate the disconnect by using a manifest constant.

Interestingly, up to commit 047782fa01 ("Out-of-sync L1 shadows: OOS
snapshot") the refcount was 27 bits wide, yet the check was already
using 26.

This is XSA-249.
