xen-netback: properly sync TX responses
commit 7b55984c96ffe9e236eb9c82a2196e0b1f84990d upstream.
Invoking the make_tx_response() / push_tx_responses() pair with no lock
held would be acceptable only if all such invocations happened from the
same context (NAPI instance or dealloc thread). Since this isn't the
case, and since the interface "spec" also doesn't demand that multicast
operations may only be performed with no in-flight transmits,
MCAST_{ADD,DEL} processing also needs to acquire the response lock
around the invocations.
To prevent similar mistakes going forward, "downgrade" the present
functions to private helpers of just the two remaining ones using them
directly, with no forward declarations anymore. This involves renaming
what so far was make_tx_response(), for the new function of that name
to serve the new (wrapper) purpose.
While there,
- constify the txp parameters,
- correct xenvif_idx_release()'s status parameter's type,
- rename {,_}make_tx_response()'s status parameters for consistency with
xenvif_idx_release()'s.
