xen: mark local pages as FOREIGN in the m2p_override

commit b9e0d95c041ca2d7ad297ee37c2e9cfab67a188f upstream.

When the frontend and the backend reside on the same domain, even if we
add pages to the m2p_override, these pages will never be returned by
mfn_to_pfn because the check "get_phys_to_machine(pfn) != mfn" will
always fail, so the pfn of the frontend will be returned instead
(resulting in a deadlock because the frontend pages are already locked).

The explanation is in the comment within the code:

We need to do this because the pages shared by the frontend
(xen-blkfront) can be already locked (lock_page, called by
do_read_cache_page); when the userspace backend tries to use them
with direct_IO, mfn_to_pfn returns the pfn of the frontend, so
do_blockdev_direct_IO is going to try to lock the same pages
again resulting in a deadlock.

A simplified call graph looks like this:

pygrub                          QEMU
-----------------------------------------------
do_read_cache_page              io_submit
  |                              |
lock_page                       ext3_direct_IO
                                 |
                                bio_add_page
                                 |
                                lock_page

Internally the xen-blkback uses m2p_add_override to swizzle (temporarily)
a 'struct page' to have a different MFN (so that it can point to another
guest). It also can easily find out whether another pfn corresponding
to the mfn exists in the m2p, and can set the FOREIGN bit
in the p2m, making sure that mfn_to_pfn returns the pfn of the backend.

This allows the backend to perform direct_IO on these pages, but as a
side effect prevents the frontend from using get_user_pages_fast on
them while they are being shared with the backend.
