Subject: [PATCH 2/2] xen: mask_rw_pte mark RO all pagetable pages up to pgt_buf_top

From: Stefano Stabellini <stefano.stabellini@...citrix.com>

mask_rw_pte is currently checking if a pfn is a pagetable page if it
falls in the range pgt_buf_start - pgt_buf_end but that is incorrect
because pgt_buf_end is a moving target: pgt_buf_top is the real
boundary.
