exec: Only count mapped memory backends for qemu_getrampagesize()
qemu_getrampagesize() works out the minimum host page size backing any of guest RAM. This is required in a few places, such as for POWER8 PAPR KVM guests, because limitations of the hardware virtualization mean the guest can't use pagesizes larger than the host pages backing its memory. However, it currently checks against *every* memory backend, whether or not it is actually mapped into guest memory at the moment. This is incorrect. This can cause a problem attempting to add memory to a POWER8 pseries KVM guest which is configured to allow hugepages in the guest (e.g. -machine cap-hpt-max-page-size=16m). If you attempt to add non-hugepage, you can (correctly) create a memory backend, however it (correctly) will throw an error when you attempt to map that memory into the guest by 'device_add'ing a pc-dimm. What's not correct is that if you then reset the guest a startup check against qemu_getrampagesize() will cause a fatal error because of the new memory object, even though it's not mapped into the guest. This patch corrects the problem by adjusting find_max_supported_pagesize() (called from qemu_getrampagesize() via object_child_foreach) to exclude non-mapped memory backends.
