xen: add mechanism to extend existing multicalls
Some Xen hypercalls accept an array of operations to work on. In general this is because its more efficient for the hypercall to the work all at once rather than as separate hypercalls (even batched as a multicall). This patch adds a mechanism (xen_mc_extend_args()) to allocate more argument space to the last-issued multicall, in order to extend its argument list. The user of this mechanism is xen/mmu.c, which uses it to extend the args array of mmu_update. This is particularly valuable when doing the update for a large mprotect, which goes via ptep_modify_prot_commit(), but it also manages to batch updates to pgd/pmds as well.
