xen: avoid hypercalls when updating unpinned pud/pmd

When operating on an unpinned pagetable (ie, one under construction or
destruction), it isn't necessary to use a hypercall to update a
pud/pmd entry.  Jan Beulich observed that a similar optimisation
avoided many thousands of hypercalls while doing a kernel build.

One tricky part is that early in the kernel boot there's no page
structure, so we can't check to see if the page is pinned.  In that
case, we just always use the hypercall.
