Xen devel - Mar 2009 - [PATCH 04/11] xen/dev-evtchn: clean up locking in evtchn

From: Jeremy Fitzhardinge <jeremy.fitzhardinge@citrix.com>

Define a new per_user_data mutex to serialize bind/unbind operations
to prevent them from racing with each other.  Fix error returns
and don''t do a bind while holding a spinlock.
