xen: perform XenDevice clean-up in XenBus watch handler
Cleaning up offline XenDevice objects directly in xen_device_backend_changed() is dangerous as xen_device_unrealize() will modify the watch list that is being walked. Even the QLIST_FOREACH_SAFE() used in notifier_list_notify() is insufficient as *two* notifiers (for the frontend and backend watches) are removed, thus potentially rendering the 'next' pointer unsafe. The solution is to use the XenBus backend_watch handler to do the clean-up instead, as it is invoked whilst walking a separate watch list. This patch therefore adds a new 'inactive_devices' list to XenBus, to which offline devices are added by xen_device_backend_changed(). The XenBus backend_watch registration is also changed to not only invoke xen_bus_enumerate() but also a new xen_bus_cleanup() function, which will walk 'inactive_devices' and perform the necessary actions. For safety an extra 'online' check is also added to xen_bus_type_enumerate() to make sure that no attempt is made to create a new XenDevice object for a backend that is offline. NOTE: This patch also includes some cosmetic changes: - substitute the local variable name 'backend_state' in xen_bus_type_enumerate() with 'state', since there is no ambiguity with any other state in that context. - change xen_device_state_is_active() to xen_device_frontend_is_active() (and pass a XenDevice directly) since the state tests contained therein only apply to a frontend. - use 'state' rather then 'xendev->backend_state' in xen_device_backend_changed() to shorten the code.
