xen: fix race in xen_qlock_wait()

commit 2ac2a7d4d9ff4e01e36f9c3d116582f6f655ab47 upstream.

In the following situation a vcpu waiting for a lock might not be
woken up from xen_poll_irq():

CPU 1:                CPU 2:                      CPU 3:
takes a spinlock
                      tries to get lock
                      -> xen_qlock_wait()
frees the lock
-> xen_qlock_kick(cpu2)
                        -> xen_clear_irq_pending()

takes lock again
                                                  tries to get lock
                                                  -> *lock = _Q_SLOW_VAL
                        -> *lock == _Q_SLOW_VAL ?
                        -> xen_poll_irq()
frees the lock
-> xen_qlock_kick(cpu3)

And cpu 2 will sleep forever.

This can be avoided easily by modifying xen_qlock_wait() to call
xen_poll_irq() only if the related irq was not pending and to call
xen_clear_irq_pending() only if it was pending.
