I don't see us using the `ser` arg in this function? Shall we remove it?

Nit: 0 on success?

If pt_descend() returns an error, we immediately return ret. However, we
have already successfully called iommu_restore_page() on pts.table_lower
and potentially many other tables earlier in the loop or higher up in
the tree..

If the domain restore fails halfway through the tree walk, how are these
partially restored pages cleaned up? Should we clean them up / free them
in an err label or does the caller perform a BUG_ON(ret) ?
