Juergen Gross 3a0e94f8ea x86/xen: avoid race in p2m handling 
When a new p2m leaf is allocated this leaf is linked into the p2m tree
via cmpxchg. Unfortunately the compare value for checking the success
of the update is read after checking for the need of a new leaf. It is
possible that a new leaf has been linked into the tree concurrently
in between. This could lead to a leaked memory page and to the loss of
some p2m entries.

Avoid the race by using the read compare value for checking the need
of a new p2m leaf and use ACCESS_ONCE() to get it.

There are other places which seem to need ACCESS_ONCE() to ensure
proper operation. Change them accordingly.
