xen/ioreq: Use guest_cmpxchg64() instead of cmpxchg()

The cmpxchg() in ioreq_send_buffered() operates on memory shared
with the emulator domain (and the target domain if the legacy
interface is used).

In order to be on the safe side we need to switch
to guest_cmpxchg64() to prevent a domain to DoS Xen on Arm.
The point to use 64-bit version of helper is to support Arm32
since the IOREQ code uses cmpxchg() with 64-bit value.

As there is no plan to support the legacy interface on Arm,
we will have a page to be mapped in a single domain at the time,
so we can use s->emulator in guest_cmpxchg64() safely.

Thankfully the only user of the legacy interface is x86 so far
and there is not concern regarding the atomics operations.

Please note, that the legacy interface *must* not be used on Arm
without revisiting the code.
