xen/netfront: harden netfront against event channel storms
stable inclusion from linux-4.19.222 commit 3559ca594f15fcd23ed10c0056d40d71e5dab8e5 CVE: CVE-2021-28712 -------------------------------- commit b27d4795 upstream. The Xen netfront driver is still vulnerable for an attack via excessive number of events sent by the backend. Fix that by using lateeoi event channels. For being able to detect the case of no rx responses being added while the carrier is down a new lock is needed in order to update and test rsp_cons and the number of seen unconsumed responses atomically.
