x86/HVM: bound number of pinned cache attribute regions

This is exposed via DMOP, i.e. to potentially not fully privileged
device models. With that we may not permit registration of an (almost)
unbounded amount of such regions.

This is CVE-2022-42333 / part of XSA-428.

Fixes: 642123c5123f ("x86/hvm: provide XEN_DMOP_pin_memory_cacheattr")

(cherry picked from commit a5e768640f786b681063f4e08af45d0c4e91debf)
