xen: clarify locking used when pinning a pagetable.

Browse Source 
Add some comments explaining the locking and pinning algorithm when
using split pte locks.  Also implement a minor optimisation of not
pinning the PTE when not using split pte locks.

* pinned, so Xen won't do the trap'n'emulate.
*
* If we're using split pte locks, we can't hold the
* entire pagetable's worth of locks during the
* traverse, because we may wrap the preempt count (8
* bits). The solution is to mark RO and pin each PTE
* page while holding the lock. This means the number
* of locks we end up holding is never more than a
* batch size (~32 entries, at present).
*
* If we're not using split pte locks, we needn't pin
* the PTE pages independently, because we're
* protected by the overall pagetable lock.
