KVM: Ensure validity of memslot with respect to kvm_get_dirty_log()
Rework kvm_get_dirty_log() so that it "returns" the associated memslot on success. A future patch will rework memslot handling such that id_to_memslot() can return NULL, returning the memslot makes it more obvious that the validity of the memslot has been verified, i.e. precludes the need to add validity checks in the arch code that are technically unnecessary. To maintain ordering in s390, move the call to kvm_arch_sync_dirty_log() from s390's kvm_vm_ioctl_get_dirty_log() to the new kvm_get_dirty_log(). This is a nop for PPC, the only other arch that doesn't select KVM_GENERIC_DIRTYLOG_READ_PROTECT, as its sync_dirty_log() is empty. Ideally, moving the sync_dirty_log() call would be done in a separate patch, but it can't be done in a follow-on patch because that would temporarily break s390's ordering. Making the move in a preparatory patch would be functionally correct, but would create an odd scenario where the moved sync_dirty_log() would operate on a "different" memslot due to consuming the result of a different id_to_memslot(). The memslot couldn't actually be different as slots_lock is held, but the code is confusing enough as it is, i.e. moving sync_dirty_log() in this patch is the lesser of all evils.
