xen: detect uninitialized xenbus in xenbus_init

commit 36e8f60f0867d3b70d398d653c17108459a04efe upstream.

If the xenstore page hasn't been allocated properly, reading the value
of the related hvm_param (HVM_PARAM_STORE_PFN) won't actually return
error. Instead, it will succeed and return zero. Instead of attempting
to xen_remap a bad guest physical address, detect this condition and
return early.

Note that although a guest physical address of zero for
HVM_PARAM_STORE_PFN is theoretically possible, it is not a good choice
and zero has never been validly used in that capacity.

Also recognize all bits set as an invalid value.

For 32-bit Linux, any pfn above ULONG_MAX would get truncated. Pfns
above ULONG_MAX should never be passed by the Xen tools to HVM guests
anyway, so check for this condition and return early.
