Michal Orzel 5f818b82de xen/arm: Don't create useless P2M pool for a hardware domain
On Arm, the hardware domain does not use the P2M pool. Its P2M pages are
allocated directly from the heap, without any limit. However, when the
hardware domain is created using dom0less, we still allocate a P2M pool
for it, either of the default size or the one given in
xen,domain-p2m-mem-mb. This memory is never used and is simply wasted.
The same applies when the pool size is set for the hardware domain using
XEN_DOMCTL_set_paging_mempool_size.

Don't create the pool for a hardware domain. Make the get/set paging
mempool domctls return -EOPNOTSUPP, skip the pool teardown and reject
xen,domain-p2m-mem-mb for a hardware domain in dom0less.

The dom0less check is Arm specific, because on RISC-V the hardware domain
does use the P2M pool.
