xen/grant-table: Avoid m2p_override during mapping



The grant mapping API does m2p_override unnecessarily: only gntdev needs it,
for blkback and future netback patches it just cause a lock contention, as
those pages never go to userspace. Therefore this series does the following:
- the original functions were renamed to __gnttab_[un]map_refs, with a new
  parameter m2p_override
- based on m2p_override either they follow the original behaviour, or just set
  the private flag and call set_phys_to_machine
- gnttab_[un]map_refs are now a wrapper to call __gnttab_[un]map_refs with
  m2p_override false
- a new function gnttab_[un]map_refs_userspace provides the old behaviour

It also removes a stray space from page.h and change ret to 0 if
XENFEAT_auto_translated_physmap, as that is the only possible return value
there.

v2:
- move the storing of the old mfn in page->index to gnttab_map_refs
- move the function header update to a separate patch

v3:
- a new approach to retain old behaviour where it needed
- squash the patches into one

v4:
- move out the common bits from m2p* functions, and pass pfn/mfn as parameter
- clear page->private before doing anything with the page, so m2p_find_override
  won't race with this

v5:
- change return value handling in __gnttab_[un]map_refs
- remove a stray space in page.h
- add detail why ret = 0 now at some places

v6:
- don't pass pfn to m2p* functions, just get it locally
