KVM: set_memory_region: Identify the requested change explicitly
KVM_SET_USER_MEMORY_REGION forces __kvm_set_memory_region() to identify what kind of change is being requested by checking the arguments. The current code does this checking at various points in code and each condition being used there is not easy to understand at first glance. This patch consolidates these checks and introduces an enum to name the possible changes to clean up the code. Although this does not introduce any functional changes, there is one change which optimizes the code a bit: if we have nothing to change, the new code returns 0 immediately. Note that the return value for this case cannot be changed since QEMU relies on it: we noticed this when we changed it to -EINVAL and got a section mismatch error at the final stage of live migration.
