[RFC PATCH 6/9] kvm_main.c: simplify change-specific callbacks

From: Emanuele Giuseppe Esposito
Date: Fri Sep 09 2022 - 06:45:31 EST


Instead of replacing the memslot in the inactive slots and
activate for each "change" specific function (NEW, MOVE, DELETE, ...),
make kvm_set_memslot() replace the memslot in current inactive list
and swap the lists, and then kvm_finish_memslot just takes care of
updating the new inactive list (was active).

We can generalize here the pre-swap replacement with
replace(old, new) because even if in a DELETE or MOVE operation,
old will always stay in the inactive list (used by kvm_replace_memslot).
