What if you do not have the tail lpage?

For example: memslot base_gfn = 0x1000 and npages is 0x800, so memslot range
is 0x1000 to 0x17ff.

Assume a case when this function is called with start = 1000 and end = 1800.
For 2M, page mask is 0x1ff. start and end both are 2M aligned.

First update_mixed takes care of 0x1000-0x1200
Loop update_mixed: goes over from 0x1200 - 0x1800, there are no pages left
for last update_mixed to process.

lpage_info_slot some times causes a crash, as I noticed that
lpage_info_slot() returns out-of-bound index.
