[PATCH net] xen-netback: properly sync TX responses

[Jan Beulich <jbeulich@suse.com>]

Invoking the make_tx_response() / push_tx_responses() pair with no lock
held would be acceptable only if all such invocations happened from the
same context (NAPI instance or dealloc thread). Since this isn't the
case, and since the interface "spec" also doesn't demand that multicast
operations may only be performed with no in-flight transmits,
MCAST_{ADD,DEL} processing also needs to acquire the response lock
around the invocations.

To prevent similar mistakes going forward, "downgrade" the present
functions to private helpers of just the two remaining ones using them
directly, with no forward declarations anymore. This involves renaming
what so far was make_tx_response(), for the new function of that name
to serve the new (wrapper) purpose.

While there,
- constify the txp parameters,
- correct xenvif_idx_release()'s status parameter's type,
- rename {,_}make_tx_response()'s status parameters for consistency with
  xenvif_idx_release()'s.

Of course this could be split into two or even more separate changes,
but I think these transformations are best done all in one go.

It remains questionable whether push_tx_responses() really needs
invoking after every single _make_tx_response().

MCAST_{ADD,DEL} are odd also from another perspective: They're supposed
to come with "dummy requests", with the comment in the public header
leaving open what that means. Netback doesn't check dummy-ness (e.g.
size being zero). Furthermore the description in the public header
doesn't really make clear that there's a restriction of one such "extra"
per dummy request. Yet the way xenvif_get_extras() works precludes
multiple ADDs or multiple DELs in a single dummy request (only the last
one would be honored afaict). While the way xenvif_tx_build_gops() works
precludes an ADD and a DEL coming together in a single dummy request
(the DEL would be ignored).
