KVM_SET_USER_MEMORY_REGION forces __kvm_set_memory_region() to identify
what kind of change is being requested by checking the parameters.  The
current code does this checking at various points in code and each
condition used there is not easy to understand at first glance.

This patch consolidates these and introduces an enum to name the
possible changes to clean up the code.

Although this does not introduce any user visible changes, there are two
changes which optimize the code a bit:

  1. If we have nothing to change, the new code returns immediately.
  2. If we just modify the flags, no changes about the mapping, the
     new code does not call kvm_iommu_map_pages().

One interesting thing we noticed was about the case 1.  Although this
case seemed unimportant, QEMU was relying on the current behaviour:
when we returned a value other than 0, e.g. -EINVAL, live migration
failed at the final stage with a section mismatch error.
