It is possible, when normalising a PV pagetable that the table has been freed
and reused for something else by the guest.

In such a case, data read might no longer be a pagetable, and fail the
truncation check.  However, this should only be fatal if we encounter such a
page in the paused phase.

This check is now consistent with all other checks in the same area.
