Shouldn't call domain_create_ring() for a domU which is shutting down.
There is a race condition between domain_create_ring() and the removal
of the do
mU entry from xenstore. If the removal of the domU entry from xenstore
comes lat
er than the first xs_gather() call in domain_create_ring(), it will go
on and bi
nd the evtchn port to the dying domU, which will cause below error message:
(XEN) (file=event_channel.c, line=144) EVTCHNOP failure: domain 0, error
-22, li
ne 144
