xen-bus: reduce scope of backend watch

Currently a single watch on /local/domain/X/backend is registered by each
QEMU process running in service domain X (where X is usually 0). The purpose
of this watch is to ensure that QEMU is notified when the Xen toolstack
creates a new device backend area.
Such a backend area is specific to a single frontend area created for a
specific guest domain and, since each QEMU process is also created to service
a specfic guest domain, it is unnecessary and inefficient to notify all QEMU
processes.
Only the QEMU process associated with the same guest domain need
receive the notification. This patch re-factors the watch registration code
such that notifications are targetted appropriately.
