In practice dat_crstep_xchg() is racy and hard to use correctly. Simply
remove it and replace its uses with dat_crstep_xchg_atomic().
This solves some actual races that lead to system hangs / crashes.

When shadowing a nested guest, a check is performed and no shadowing is
attempted if the nested guest is already shadowed.
The existing check was incomplete; fix it by also checking whether the
leaf DAT table entry in the existing shadow gmap has the same protection
as the one specified in the guest DAT entry.

The slow path of the fault handler ultimately called gmap_link(), which
assumed the fault was a major fault, and blindly called dat_link().
In case of minor faults, things were not always handled properly; in
particular the prefix and vsie marker bits were ignored.
Move dat_link() into gmap.c, renaming it accordingly. Once moved, the
new _gmap_link() function will be able to correctly honour the prefix
and vsie markers.

In most cases gmap_put() was not called when it should have.
Add the missing gmap_put() in vsie_run().

If shadowing causes the shadow gmap to get unshadowed, exit early to
prevent an attempt to dereference the parent pointer, which at this
point is NULL.
Opportunistically add some more checks to prevent NULL parents.

When shadowing, the guest page tables are write-protected, in order to
trap changes and properly unshadow the shadow mapping for the nested
guest. Already shadowed levels are skipped, so that only the needed
levels are write protected.
Currently the levels that get write protected are exactly one level too
deep: the last level (nested guest memory) gets protected in the wrong
way, and will be protected again correctly a few lines afterwards; most
importantly, the highest non-shadowed level does *not* get write
protected.
This leads to all sorts of races and other issues.
Write protect the correct levels, so that all the levels that need to
be protected are protected, and avoid double protecting the last level.

A previous commit changed the behaviour of the KVM_S390_VCPU_FAULT
ioctl. The current (wrong) implementation will trigger a guest
addressing exception if the requested address lies outside of a
memslot, unless the VM is UCONTROL.
Restore the previous behaviour by open coding the fault-in logic.
