The size of struct active_grant_entry for 64-bit builds is 40 or 48

It can easily be reduced by 8 bytes by replacing the trans_domain
pointer with the domid of the related domain. trans_domain is only ever
used for transitive grants, which doesn't have any known users.

This reduction will result in less memory usage and (for production
builds) in faster code, as indexing into the active_grant_entry array
will be much easier with an entry having a power-of-2 size.

The performance loss when using transitive grants shouldn't really
matter, given the probability that those aren't in use at all.

I'm afraid I still view the comment as ambiguous, for there being two
domains involved in granting access for transitive grants. Preferably
with e.g "Original" added (which of course could be done by the
committer, provided this isn't lost by the time 4.18 opens),

Thanks.

I'll just send an updated V3 (probably tomorrow).
