If the xenstore page hasn't been allocated properly, reading the value
of the related hvm_param (HVM_PARAM_STORE_PFN) won't actually return
error. Instead, it will succeed and return zero. Instead of attempting
to xen_remap a bad guest physical address, detect this condition and
return early.
Note that although a guest physical address of zero for
HVM_PARAM_STORE_PFN is theoretically possible, it is not a good choice
and zero has never been validly used in that capacity.
Also recognize the invalid value of INVALID_PFN which is ULLONG_MAX.
For 32-bit Linux, any pfn above ULONG_MAX would get truncated. Pfns
above ULONG_MAX should never be passed by the Xen tools to HVM guests
anyway, so check for this condition and return early.

Changes in v3:
- improve in-code comment
- improve check
Changes in v2:
- add check for ULLONG_MAX (unitialized)
- add check for ULONG_MAX #if BITS_PER_LONG == 32 (actual error)
- add pr_err error message

Adjust the comment, e.g. s/ULLONG_MAX/all bits set/ (in the commit
message, too)?

For me "if (!v || !~v)" would be more readable, but I don't really feel
strong here.

I also don't think the reference to INVALID_PFN is appropriate here. Afaict
the two aren't the same on 32-bit. Plus I can't even find a constant named
this way in Linux'es include/.

Oh, indeed.
