xen/mm/shadow: check toplevel pagetables are present before unhooking them. If the guest has not fully populated its top-level PAE entries when it calls HVMOP_pagetable_dying, the shadow code could try to unhook entries from MFN 0. Add a check to avoid that case. This issue was introduced by c/s 21239:b9d2db109cf5. This is a security problem, XSA-23 / CVE-2012-4538.
