Explicitly free the metadata arrays (stored in slot->arch) in the old memslot structure when moving the memslot's base gfn is committed. This eliminates x86's dependency on kvm_free_memslot() being called when a memlsot move is committed, and paves the way for removing the funky code in kvm_free_memslot() that conditionally frees structures based on its @dont param.
