xen/events: avoid race with raising an event in unmask_evtchn()
In unmask_evtchn(), when the mask bit is cleared after testing for
pending and the event becomes pending between the test and clear, then
the upcall will not become pending and the event may be lost or
delayed.
Avoid this by always clearing the mask bit before checking for
pending. If a hypercall is needed, remask the event as
EVTCHNOP_unmask will only retrigger pending events if they were
masked.
This fixes a regression introduced in 3.7 by
b5e579232d
(xen/events: fix
unmask_evtchn for PV on HVM guests) which reordered the clear mask and
check pending operations.
Changes in v2:
- set mask before hypercall.
