tools/xenstore: harden transaction finalization against errors
When finalizing a transaction, any error occurring after checking for
conflicts will result in the transaction being performed only
partially today. Additionally accounting data will not be updated at
the end of the transaction, which might result in further problems
later.
Avoid those problems by multiple modifications:
- free any transaction specific nodes which don't need to be committed
as they haven't been written during the transaction as soon as their
generation count has been verified, this will reduce the risk of
out-of-memory situations
- store the transaction specific node name in struct accessed_node in
order to avoid the need to allocate additional memory for it when
finalizing the transaction
- don't stop the transaction finalization when hitting an error
condition, but try to continue to handle all modified nodes
- in case of a detected error do the accounting update as needed and
call the data base checking only after that
- if writing a node in a transaction is failing (e.g. due to a failed
quota check), fail the transaction, as prior changes to struct
accessed_node can't easily be undone in that case
This is part of XSA-421 / CVE-2022-42326.
