prevent read from desc->shadow_ptes[-1]

If in rmap_remove() (bottom) we do:

while (desc) {
        for (i = 0; i < RMAP_EXT && desc->shadow_ptes[i]; ++i)
                if (desc->shadow_ptes[i] == spte) {
                        rmap_desc_remove_entry(rmapp,
                                               desc, i,
                                               prev_desc);
                        return;
                }
        prev_desc = desc;
        desc = desc->more;
}

If in the first iteration esc->shadow_ptes[0] == spte, then we
call rmap_desc_remove_entry() with i == 0, and then we read in
the last iteration from desc->shadow_ptes[-1].

I found this by code analysis.
