No, that can't happen because increase_address_space locks the domain
before actually doing anything. So the address space can't grow above
domain->mode == 6. But what can happen is that the WARN_ON_ONCE triggers
in there and that the address space is increased multiple times when
only one increase would be sufficient.

To fix this we just need to check the PM_LEVEL_SIZE() condition again
when we hold the lock:
