Pull xen fixes from Juergen Gross:
 "Several Linux PV device frontends are using the grant table interfaces
  for removing access rights of the backends in ways being subject to
  race conditions, resulting in potential data leaks, data corruption by
  malicious backends, and denial of service triggered by malicious
  backends:

   - blkfront, netfront, scsifront and the gntalloc driver are testing
     whether a grant reference is still in use. If this is not the case,
     they assume that a following removal of the granted access will
     always succeed, which is not true in case the backend has mapped
     the granted page between those two operations.

     As a result the backend can keep access to the memory page of the
     guest no matter how the page will be used after the frontend I/O
     has finished. The xenbus driver has a similar problem, as it
     doesn't check the success of removing the granted access of a
     shared ring buffer.

   - blkfront, netfront, scsifront, usbfront, dmabuf, xenbus, 9p,
     kbdfront, and pvcalls are using a functionality to delay freeing a
     grant reference until it is no longer in use, but the freeing of
     the related data page is not synchronized with dropping the granted
     access.

     As a result the backend can keep access to the memory page even
     after it has been freed and then re-used for a different purpose.

   - netfront will fail a BUG_ON() assertion if it fails to revoke
     access in the rx path.

     This will result in a Denial of Service (DoS) situation of the
     guest which can be triggered by the backend"
