KVM: s390: pv: leak the topmost page table when destroy fails
Each secure guest must have a unique ASCE (address space control element); we must avoid that new guests use the same page for their ASCE, to avoid errors. Since the ASCE mostly consists of the address of the topmost page table (plus some flags), we must not return that memory to the pool unless the ASCE is no longer in use. Only a successful Destroy Secure Configuration UVC will make the ASCE reusable again. If the Destroy Configuration UVC fails, the ASCE cannot be reused for a secure guest (either for the ASCE or for other memory areas). To avoid a collision, it must not be used again. This is a permanent error and the page becomes in practice unusable, so we set it aside and leak it. On failure we already leak other memory that belongs to the ultravisor (i.e. the variable and base storage for a guest) and not leaking the topmost page table was an oversight. This error (and thus the leakage) should not happen unless the hardware is broken or KVM has some unknown serious bug.

+ *
+ * This means that it will not be freed when the VM is torn down, and needs
+ * to be handled separately by the caller, unless a leak is actually
+ * intended. Notice that this function will only remove the page from the
+ * list, the page will still be used as a top level page table (and ASCE).
