[PATCH v2 1/4] xen/arm: Reduce redundant clear root pages when teardown p2m

[Henry Wang <Henry.Wang@xxxxxxx>]

Currently, p2m for a domain will be teardown from two paths:
(1) The normal path when a domain is destroyed.
(2) The arch_domain_destroy() in the failure path of domain creation.

When tearing down p2m from (1), the part to clear and clean the root
is only needed to do once rather than for every call of p2m_teardown().
If the p2m teardown is from (2), the clear and clean of the root
is unnecessary because the domain is not scheduled.

Therefore, this patch introduces a helper `p2m_clear_root_pages()` to
do the clear and clean of the root, and move this logic outside of
p2m_teardown(). With this movement, the `page_list_empty(&p2m->pages)`
check can be dropped.

v1 -> v2:
1. Move in-code comment for p2m_force_tlb_flush_sync() on top of
   p2m_clear_root_pages().
2. Add Reviewed-by tag from Michal and Acked-by tag from Julien.
