Forgot to talk about the bug.  This code needs to handle the scenario where a
memslot is created with existing, non-uniform attributes.  It might be a bit ugly
(I didn't even try to write the code), but it's definitely possible, and since
memslot updates are already slow I think it's best to handle things here.

In the meantime, I added this so we don't forget to fix it before merging.

#ifdef CONFIG_KVM_GENERIC_MEMORY_ATTRIBUTES
	pr_crit_once("FIXME: Walk the memory attributes of the slot and set the mixed status appropriately");
#endif
