While in the vast majority of cases failure of the function will not be followed by re-invocation with the same emulation context, a few very specific insns - involving multiple independent writes, e.g. ENTER and PUSHA - exist where this can happen. Since failure of the function only signals to the caller that it ought to try an MMIO write instead, such failure also cannot be assumed to result in wholesale failure of emulation of the current insn. Instead we have to maintain internal state such that another invocation of the function with the same emulation context remains possible. To achieve that we need to reset MFN slots after putting page references on the error path. Note that all of this affects debugging code only, in causing an assertion to trigger (higher up in the function). There's otherwise no misbehavior - such a "leftover" slot would simply be overwritten by new contents in a release build. Also extend the related unmap() assertion, to further check for MFN 0.

And we can't really put/leave INVALID_MFN there, as that would conflict with other debug checking.
