Juergen Gross a8fabb3852 xen/xenbus: fix self-deadlock after killing user process
In case a user process using xenbus has open transactions and is killed
e.g. via ctrl-C the following cleanup of the allocated resources might
result in a deadlock due to trying to end a transaction in the xenbus
worker thread:

Fix this by doing the cleanup via a workqueue instead.
