s390/uv: Panic for set and remove shared access UVC errors
The return value uv_set_shared() and uv_remove_shared() (which are wrappers around the share() function) is not always checked. The system integrity of a protected guest depends on the Share and Unshare UVCs being successful. This means that any caller that fails to check the return value will compromise the security of the protected guest. No code path that would lead to such violation of the security guarantees is currently exercised, since all the areas that are shared never get unshared during the lifetime of the system. This might change and become an issue in the future. The Share and Unshare UVCs can only fail in case of hypervisor misbehaviour (either a bug or malicious behaviour). In such cases there is no reasonable way forward, and the system needs to panic. This patch replaces the return at the end of the share() function with a panic, to guarantee system integrity.
