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.

+ KernelMemorySanitizer (KMSAN) is a dynamic detector of uses of
+ uninitialized values in the kernel. It is based on compiler
+ instrumentation provided by Clang and thus requires Clang to build.
+
+ An important note is that KMSAN is not intended for production use,
+ because it drastically increases kernel memory footprint and slows
+ the whole system down.
+
+ See <file:Documentation/dev-tools/kmsan.rst> for more details.

+ help
+ If the compiler supports -fsanitize-memory-param-retval, KMSAN will
+ eagerly check every function parameter passed by value and every
+ function return value.
+
+ Disabling KMSAN_CHECK_PARAM_RETVAL will result in tracking shadow for
+ function parameters and return values across function borders. This
+ is a more relaxed mode, but it generates more instrumentation code and
+ may potentially report errors in corner cases when non-instrumented
+ functions call instrumented ones.

+ Say Y here if you want the test to be built into the kernel and run
