xen: map foreign pages for shared rings by updating the PTEs directly

When mapping a foreign page with xenbus_map_ring_valloc() with the
GNTTABOP_map_grant_ref hypercall, set the GNTMAP_contains_pte flag and
pass a pointer to the PTE (in init_mm).

After the page is mapped, the usual fault mechanism can be used to
update additional MMs.  This allows the vmalloc_sync_all() to be
removed from alloc_vm_area().
