xen/netback: use lateeoi irq binding
In order to reduce the chance for the system becoming unresponsive due to event storms triggered by a misbehaving netfront use the lateeoi irq binding for netback and unmask the event channel only just before going to sleep waiting for new events. Make sure not to issue an EOI when none is pending by introducing an eoi_pending element to struct xenvif_queue. When no request has been consumed set the spurious flag when sending the EOI for an interrupt. This is part of XSA-332.
