Daniel Stodden 5b61cb90c2 xenbus: Make xenbus_switch_state transactional
According to the comments, this was how it's been done years ago, but
apparently took an xbt pointer from elsewhere back then. The code was
removed because of consistency issues: cancellation wont't roll back
the saved xbdev->state.

Still, unsolicited writes to the state field remain an issue,
especially if device shutdown takes thread synchronization, and subtle
races cause accidental recreation of the device node.

Fixed by reintroducing the transaction. An internal one is sufficient,
so the xbdev->state value remains consistent.

Also fixes the original hack to prevent infinite recursion. Instead of
bailing out on the first attempt to switch to Closing, checks call
depth now.
