Ensure pfn isn't already in use before assigning to addr[i].  Retry if
in use.  The subsequent pfns were checked against the bitmap, but not
the initial selection.

This prevents some false positives on a machine with a small amount of
RAM where pfn collisions are more likely to be seen.

A Xen HVM first showed:
[ 3640.227939] CPA ffff88800869c000: bad pte 800000000869c163
[ 3640.227982] CPA ffff88800104e000: bad pte 800000000104e161

Testing this patch with a Xen PV guest with one 192MB of RAM showed
varying numbers of addresses like:
[ 2768.082971] CPA test 5 pfn 930d in use

This could infinite loop on a machine with a small amount of RAM - is
that worth handling?  Just skip an in-use pfn instead?
