[PATCH 4.9 64/78] xen/events: fix race in evtchn_fifo_unmask()

From: Juergen Gross <jgross@suse.com>

commit f01337197419b7e8a492e83089552b77d3b5fb90 upstream.

Unmasking a fifo event channel can result in unmasking it twice, once
directly in the kernel and once via a hypercall in case the event was
pending.

Fix that by doing the local unmask only if the event is not pending.

This is part of XSA-332.
