xenbus: Avoid deadlock during suspend due to open transactions

BugLink: https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1838824
[ Upstream commit d10e0cc113c9e1b64b5c6e3db37b5c839794f3df ]

During a suspend/resume, the xenwatch thread waits for all outstanding
xenstore requests and transactions to complete. This does not work
correctly for transactions started by userspace because it waits for
them to complete after freezing userspace threads which means the
transactions have no way of completing, resulting in a deadlock. This is
trivial to reproduce by running this script and then suspending the VM:

    import pyxs, time
    c = pyxs.client.Client(xen_bus_path="/dev/xen/xenbus")
    c.connect()
    c.transaction()
    time.sleep(3600)

Even if this deadlock were resolved, misbehaving userspace should not
prevent a VM from being migrated. So, instead of waiting for these
transactions to complete before suspending, store the current generation
id for each transaction when it is started. The global generation id is
incremented during resume. If the caller commits the transaction and the
generation id does not match the current generation id, return EAGAIN so
that they try again. If the transaction was instead discarded, return OK
since no changes were made anyway.

This only affects users of the xenbus file interface. In-kernel users of
xenbus are assumed to be well-behaved and complete all transactions
before freezing.
