Subject: [PATCH 3/4] mshv: Handle insufficient contiguous memory hypervisor
 status

The HV_STATUS_INSUFFICIENT_CONTIGUOUS_MEMORY status indicates that the
hypervisor lacks sufficient contiguous memory for its internal allocations.

When this status is encountered, allocate and deposit
HV_MAX_CONTIGUOUS_ALLOCATION_PAGES contiguous pages to the hypervisor.
HV_MAX_CONTIGUOUS_ALLOCATION_PAGES is defined in the hypervisor headers, a
deposit of this size will always satisfy the hypervisor's requirements.
