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.

+================

+Determines whether the kernels maps a vDSO page into 32-bit processes;
+can be set to 1 to enable, or 0 to disable. Defaults to enabled if
+``CONFIG_COMPAT_VDSO`` is set, disabled otherwise.
+
+This controls the same setting as the ``vdso32`` kernel boot
+parameter.
