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.

+/**
+ * __vdso_futex_robust_list64_try_unlock - Try to unlock an uncontended robust futex
+ * with a 64-bit pending op pointer
+ * @lock: Pointer to the futex lock object
+ * @tid: The TID of the calling task
+ * @pop: Pointer to the task's robust_list_head::list_pending_op
+ *
+ * Return: The content of *@lock. On success this is the same as @tid.
+ *
+ * The function implements:
+ * if (atomic_try_cmpxchg(lock, &tid, 0))
+ * *op = NULL;
+ * return tid;
+ *
+ * There is a race between a successful unlock and clearing the pending op
+ * pointer in the robust list head. If the calling task is interrupted in the
+ * race window and has to handle a (fatal) signal on return to user space then
+ * the kernel handles the clearing of @pending_op before attempting to deliver
+ * the signal. That ensures that a task cannot exit with a potentially invalid
+ * pending op pointer.
+ *
+ * User space uses it in the following way:
+ *
+ * if (__vdso_futex_robust_list64_try_unlock(lock, tid, &pending_op) != tid)
+ * err = sys_futex($OP | FUTEX_ROBUST_UNLOCK,....);
+ *
+ * If the unlock attempt fails due to the FUTEX_WAITERS bit set in the lock,
+ * then the syscall does the unlock, clears the pending op pointer and wakes the
+ * requested number of waiters.
