KVM: Don't pre-reserve xarray entries when storing empty/NULL attributesgrafted
Skip the xarray reservation loop when clearing all memory attributes, as storing NULL only erases the entry and never needs to allocate, so no reservation (and no cleanup of a failed one) is required in that case.

+Description:
+ The "cells" folder contains one file per cell exposed by the
+ NVMEM device. The name of the file is: "<name>@<byte>,<bit>",
+ with <name> being the cell name and <where> its location in
+ the NVMEM device, in hexadecimal bytes and bits (without the
+ '0x' prefix, to mimic device tree node names). The length of
+ the file is the size of the cell (when known). The content of
+ the file is the binary content of the cell (may sometimes be
+ ASCII, likely without trailing character).
+ Note: This file is only present if CONFIG_NVMEM_SYSFS
+ is enabled.
+
+ Example::
+
+ hexdump -C /sys/bus/nvmem/devices/1-00563/cells/product-name@d,0
+ 00000000 54 4e 34 38 4d 2d 50 2d 44 4e |TN48M-P-DN|
