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.

+- Convert interrupt handler to per-ep-thread-irq
+
+ As it turns out some DWC3-commands ~1ms to complete. Currently we spin
+ until the command completes which is bad.
+
+ Implementation idea:
+
+ - dwc core implements a demultiplexing irq chip for interrupts per
+ endpoint. The interrupt numbers are allocated during probe and belong
+ to the device. If MSI provides per-endpoint interrupt this dummy
+ interrupt chip can be replaced with "real" interrupts.
+ - interrupts are requested / allocated on usb_ep_enable() and removed on
+ usb_ep_disable(). Worst case are 32 interrupts, the lower limit is two
+ for ep0/1.
+ - dwc3_send_gadget_ep_cmd() will sleep in wait_for_completion_timeout()
+ until the command completes.
+ - the interrupt handler is split into the following pieces:
+
+ - primary handler of the device
+ goes through every event and calls generic_handle_irq() for event
+ it. On return from generic_handle_irq() in acknowledges the event
+ counter so interrupt goes away (eventually).
+
+ - threaded handler of the device
+ none
+
+ - primary handler of the EP-interrupt
+ reads the event and tries to process it. Everything that requires
+ sleeping is handed over to the Thread. The event is saved in an
+ per-endpoint data-structure.
+ We probably have to pay attention not to process events once we
+ handed something to thread so we don't process event X prio Y
+ where X > Y.
+
+ - threaded handler of the EP-interrupt
+ handles the remaining EP work which might sleep such as waiting
+ for command completion.
+
+ Latency:
+
+ There should be no increase in latency since the interrupt-thread has a
+ high priority and will be run before an average task in user land
+ (except the user changed priorities).
