x86/shadow: tolerate failure of sh_set_toplevel_shadow()

Subsequently sh_set_toplevel_shadow() will be adjusted to install a
blank entry in case prealloc fails. There are, in fact, pre-existing
error paths which would put in place a blank entry. The 4- and 2-level
code in sh_update_cr3(), however, assume the top level entry to be
valid.

Hence bail from the function in the unlikely event that it's not. Note
that 3-level logic works differently: In particular a guest is free to
supply a PDPTR pointing at 4 non-present (or otherwise deemed invalid)
entries. The guest will crash, but we already cope with that.

Really mfn_valid() is likely wrong to use in sh_set_toplevel_shadow(),
and it should instead be !mfn_eq(gmfn, INVALID_MFN). Avoid such a change
in security context, but add a respective assertion.

This is part of CVE-2022-33746 / XSA-410.
