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.

+SYNOPSIS
+========
+**rtla timerlat top** [*OPTIONS*] ...
+
+DESCRIPTION
+===========
+
+.. include:: common_timerlat_description.txt
+
+The **rtla timerlat top** displays a summary of the periodic output
+from the *timerlat* tracer. It also provides information for each
+operating system noise via the **osnoise:** tracepoints that can be
+seen with the option **-T**.
+
+OPTIONS
+=======
+
+.. include:: common_timerlat_options.txt
+
+.. include:: common_top_options.txt
+
+.. include:: common_options.txt
+
+.. include:: common_timerlat_aa.txt
+
+**--aa-only** *us*
+
+        Set stop tracing conditions and run without collecting and displaying statistics.
+        Print the auto-analysis if the system hits the stop tracing condition. This option
+        is useful to reduce rtla timerlat CPU, enabling the debug without the overhead of
+        collecting the statistics.
+
+EXAMPLE
+=======
+
+In the example below, the timerlat tracer is dispatched in cpus *1-23* in the
+automatic trace mode, instructing the tracer to stop if a *40 us* latency or
+higher is found::
+
+  # timerlat -a 40 -c 1-23 -q

+  Saving trace to timerlat_trace.txt
+
+In this case, the major factor was the delay suffered by the *IRQ handler*
+that handles **timerlat** wakeup: *65.52%*. This can be caused by the
+current thread masking interrupts, which can be seen in the blocking
+thread stacktrace: the current thread (*objtool:49256*) disabled interrupts
+via *raw spin lock* operations inside mem cgroup, while doing write
+syscall in a btrfs file system.
+
+The raw trace is saved in the **timerlat_trace.txt** file for further analysis.
+
+Note that **rtla timerlat** was dispatched without changing *timerlat* tracer
+threads' priority. That is generally not needed because these threads have
+priority *FIFO:95* by default, which is a common priority used by real-time
+kernel developers to analyze scheduling delays.
