Previous patch "kvm: Minor memory slot optimization" overlooked the
generation field of the memory slots.  Re-using the original memory
slots left us with with two slightly different memory slots with the
same generation.  To fix this, make update_memslots() take a new
parameter to specify the last generation.  This also makes generation
management more explicit to avoid such problems in the future.
