Subject: xenpaging: handle temporary out-of-memory conditions during page-in

p2m_mem_paging_prep() should return -ENOMEM if a new page could not be
allocated. This can be handled in xenpaging to retry the page-in. Right
now such condition would stall the guest because the requested page will
not come back, xenpaging simply exits. So xenpaging could very well
retry the allocation forever to rescue the guest.
