xen/netback: use lateeoi irq binding

In order to reduce the chance for the system becoming unresponsive due
to event storms triggered by a misbehaving netfront use the lateeoi
irq binding for netback and unmask the event channel only just before
going to sleep waiting for new events.

Make sure not to issue an EOI when none is pending by introducing an
eoi_pending element to struct xenvif_queue.

When no request has been consumed set the spurious flag when sending
the EOI for an interrupt.

This is part of XSA-332.
