kvm: fix sorting of memslots with base_gfn == 0

Before commit 0e60b079 (kvm: change memslot sorting rule from size
to GFN, 2014-12-01), the memslots' sorting key was npages, meaning
that a valid memslot couldn't have its sorting key equal to zero.
On the other hand, a valid memslot can have base_gfn == 0, and invalid
memslots are identified by base_gfn == npages == 0.

Because of this, commit 0e60b079 broke the invariant that invalid
memslots are at the end of the mslots array.  When a memslot with
base_gfn == 0 was created, any invalid memslot before it were left
in place.

This can be fixed by changing the insertion to use a ">=" comparison
instead of "<=", but some care is needed to avoid breaking the case
of deleting a memslot; see the comment in update_memslots.

Thanks to Tiejun Chen for posting an initial patch for this bug.
