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.

+Crypto Engine
+=============
+
+Overview
+--------
+The crypto engine (CE) API is a crypto queue manager.
+
+Requirement
+-----------
+You must put, at the start of your transform context your_tfm_ctx, the structure
+crypto_engine:
+
+::
+
+	struct your_tfm_ctx {
+		struct crypto_engine engine;
+		...
+	};
+
+The crypto engine only manages asynchronous requests in the form of
+crypto_async_request. It cannot know the underlying request type and thus only
+has access to the transform structure. It is not possible to access the context
+using container_of. In addition, the engine knows nothing about your
+structure "``struct your_tfm_ctx``". The engine assumes (requires) the placement
+of the known member ``struct crypto_engine`` at the beginning.
+
+Order of operations
+-------------------
+You are required to obtain a struct crypto_engine via ``crypto_engine_alloc_init()``.
+Start it via ``crypto_engine_start()``. When finished with your work, shut down the
+engine using ``crypto_engine_stop()`` and destroy the engine with
+``crypto_engine_exit()``.
+
+Before transferring any request, you have to fill the context enginectx by
+providing functions for the following:
+
+* ``prepare_cipher_request``/``prepare_hash_request``: Called before each
+  corresponding request is performed. If some processing or other preparatory
+  work is required, do it here.
+
+* ``unprepare_cipher_request``/``unprepare_hash_request``: Called after each
+  request is handled. Clean up / undo what was done in the prepare function.
+
+* ``cipher_one_request``/``hash_one_request``: Handle the current request by
+  performing the operation.
+
+Note that these functions access the crypto_async_request structure
+associated with the received request. You are able to retrieve the original
+request by using:
+
+::
+
+	container_of(areq, struct yourrequesttype_request, base);
+
+When your driver receives a crypto_request, you must to transfer it to
+the crypto engine via one of:
+
+* crypto_transfer_aead_request_to_engine()
+
+* crypto_transfer_akcipher_request_to_engine()
+
+* crypto_transfer_hash_request_to_engine()
+
+* crypto_transfer_kpp_request_to_engine()
+
+* crypto_transfer_skcipher_request_to_engine()
+
+At the end of the request process, a call to one of the following functions is needed:
+
+* crypto_finalize_aead_request()
+
+* crypto_finalize_akcipher_request()
+
+* crypto_finalize_hash_request()
+
+* crypto_finalize_kpp_request()
+
+* crypto_finalize_skcipher_request()
