Subject: xen/arm: p2m: Always clear the P2M entry when the mapping is removed

Commit 2148a125b73b ("xen/arm: Track page accessed between batch of
Set/Way operations") allowed an entry to be invalid from the CPU PoV
(lpae_is_valid()) but valid for Xen (p2m_is_valid()). This is useful
to track which page is accessed and only perform an action on them
(e.g. clean & invalidate the cache after a set/way instruction).

Unfortunately, __p2m_set_entry() is only zeroing the P2M entry when
lpae_is_valid() returns true. This means the entry will not be zeroed
if the entry was valid from Xen PoV but invalid from the CPU PoV for
tracking purpose.

As a consequence, this will allow a domain to continue to access the
page after it was removed.

Resolve the issue by always zeroing the entry if it the LPAE bit is
set or the entry is about to be removed.

This is XSA-393.
