x86/mm: alloc/free_lN_table: Retain partial_flags on -EINTR

When validating or de-validating pages (in alloc_lN_table and
free_lN_table respectively), the `partial_flags` local variable is
used to keep track of whether the "current" PTE started the entire
operation in a "may be partial" state.

One of the patches in XSA-299 addressed the fact that it is possible
for a previously-partially-validated entry to subsequently be found to
have invalid entries (indicated by returning -EINVAL); in which case
page->partial_flags needs to be set to indicate that the current PTE
may have the partial bit set (and thus _put_page_type() should be
called with PTF_partial_set).

Unfortunately, the patches in XSA-299 assumed that once
put_page_from_lNe() returned -ERESTART on a page, it was not possible
for it to return -EINTR.  This turns out to be true for
alloc_lN_table() and free_lN_table, but not for _get_page_type() and
_put_page_type(): both can return -EINTR when called on pages with
PGT_partial set.  In these cases, the pages PGT_partial will still be
set; failing to set partial_flags appropriately may allow an attacker
to do a privilege escalation similar to those described in XSA-299.

Fix this by always copying the local partial_flags variable into
page->partial_flags when exiting early.

NB that on the "get" side, no adjustment to nr_validated_entries is
needed: whether pte[i] is partially validated or entirely
un-validated, we want nr_validated_entries = i.  On the "put" side,
however, we need to adjust nr_validated_entries appropriately: if
pte[i] is entirely validated, we want nr_validated_entries = i + 1; if
pte[i] is partially validated, we want nr_validated_entries = i.

This is part of XSA-310.
