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.

+Devicetree Dynamic Resolver Notes
+=================================
+
+This document describes the implementation of the in-kernel
+DeviceTree resolver, residing in drivers/of/resolver.c
+
+How the resolver works
+----------------------
+
+The resolver is given as an input an arbitrary tree compiled with the
+proper dtc option and having a /plugin/ tag. This generates the
+appropriate __fixups__ & __local_fixups__ nodes.
+
+In sequence the resolver works by the following steps:
+
+1. Get the maximum device tree phandle value from the live tree + 1.
+2. Adjust all the local phandles of the tree to resolve by that amount.
+3. Using the __local__fixups__ node information adjust all local references
+   by the same amount.
+4. For each property in the __fixups__ node locate the node it references
+   in the live tree. This is the label used to tag the node.
+5. Retrieve the phandle of the target of the fixup.
+6. For each fixup in the property locate the node:property:offset location
+   and replace it with the phandle value.
