prevent read from desc->shadow_ptes[-1]
Signed-off-by: Roel Kluin <[email protected]>

If in rmap_remove() (bottom) we do:
while (desc) {
for (i = 0; i < RMAP_EXT && desc->shadow_ptes[i]; ++i)
if (desc->shadow_ptes[i] == spte) {
rmap_desc_remove_entry(rmapp,
desc, i,
prev_desc);
return;
}
prev_desc = desc;
desc = desc->more;
}
If in the first iteration esc->shadow_ptes[0] == spte, then we
call rmap_desc_remove_entry() with i == 0, and then we read in
the last iteration from desc->shadow_ptes[-1].
I found this by code analysis.
