improve XENMEM_add_to_physmap_batch address checking

As a follow-up to XSA-212 we should have addressed a similar issue here:
The handles being advanced at the top of xenmem_add_to_physmap_batch()
means we allow hypervisor space accesses (in particular, for "errs",
writes) with suitably crafted input arguments. This isn't a security
issue in this case because of the limited width of struct
xen_add_to_physmap_batch's size field: It being 16-bits wide, only the
r/o M2P area can be accessed. Still we can and should do better.
