[PATCH v4 1/5] x86: extend update_intpte() to support atomic get-and-update

[Kevin Lampis <kevin.lampis@xxxxxxxxxx>]

The update_intpte() now accepts a new swap flag and if set
returns the old pte value.

No functional change for existing callers.

Signed-off-by: Kevin Lampis <kevin.lampis@xxxxxxxxxx>

Changes in v4:
- Remove UPDATE_ENTRY_SWAP
- Don't move the backslashes in UPDATE_ENTRY

Changes in v3:
- Return 0 in the paging_write_guest_entry() case (update_intpte)
- Add UPDATE_ENTRY_SWAP to convert return value to correct type

Changes in v2:
- Add new PTE_UPDATE_SWAP flag instead of a bool argument
- Return the old pte value instead of turning `old` into an out pointer
