xen/evtchn: rework per event channel lock
Currently the lock for a single event channel needs to be taken with
interrupts off, which causes deadlocks in some cases.
Rework the per event channel lock to be non-blocking for the case of
sending an event and removing the need for disabling interrupts for
taking the lock.
The lock is needed for avoiding races between event channel state
changes (creation, closing, binding) against normal operations (set
pending, [un]masking, priority changes).
Use a rwlock, but with some restrictions:
- Changing the state of an event channel (creation, closing, binding)
needs to use write_lock(), with ASSERT()ing that the lock is taken as
writer only when the state of the event channel is either before or
after the locked region appropriate (either free or unbound).
- Sending an event needs to use read_trylock() mostly, in case of not
obtaining the lock the operation is omitted. This is needed as
sending an event can happen with interrupts off (at least in some
cases).
- Dumping the event channel state for debug purposes is using
read_trylock(), too, in order to avoid blocking in case the lock is
taken as writer for a long time.
- All other cases can use read_lock().
