For higher order mappings the comparison against p2m->min_remapped_gfn
needs to take the upper bound of the covered GFN range into account, not
just the base GFN. Otherwise, i.e. when dropping a mapping overlapping
the remapped range but the base GFN outside of that range, an altp2m may
wrongly not get reset.

Note that there's no need to call get_gfn_type_access() ahead of the
check against the remapped range boundaries: None of its outputs are
needed earlier, and p2m_reset_altp2m() doesn't require the lock to be
held. In fact this avoids a latent lock order violation: With per-GFN
locking p2m_reset_altp2m() not only doesn't require the GFN lock to be
held, but holding such a lock would actually not be allowed, as the
function acquires a P2M lock.

Local variables are moved into the more narrow scope (one is deleted
altogether) to help see their actual life ranges.

Note that this addresses only half of the problem: get_gfn_type_access()
would also need invoking for all of the involved GFNs, not just the 1st
one.
---
v3: Don't pass the minimum of both orders to p2m_set_entry() (as was the
    case in the original code). Restore get_gfn_type_access() return
    value checking.

Why are you dropping the mfn_eq(mfn, INVALID_MFN) check here?

Thanks for spotting - this is a mistake in the v3 rework.
