[Xen-devel] [PATCH 1/3] x86: tighten page table owner checking in do_mmu_update()

[Jan Beulich]

MMU_MACHPHYS_UPDATE, not manipulating page tables, shouldn't ignore
a bad page table domain being specified.

Also pt_owner can't be NULL when reaching the "out" label, so the
respective check can be dropped.
