File xsa328-1.patch of Package xen.25148

From: Jan Beulich <jbeulich@suse.com>
Subject: x86/EPT: ept_set_middle_entry() related adjustments

ept_split_super_page() wants to further modify the newly allocated
table, so have ept_set_middle_entry() return the mapped pointer rather
than tearing it down and then getting re-established right again.

Similarly ept_next_level() wants to hand back a mapped pointer of
the next level page, so re-use the one established by
ept_set_middle_entry() in case that path was taken.

Pull the setting of suppress_ve ahead of insertion into the higher level
table, and don't have ept_split_super_page() set the field a 2nd time.

This is part of XSA-328.
