George Dunlap 65e1f3d289 cxenstored: wait until after reset to notify dom0less domains
Commit fc2b57c9a ("xenstored: send an evtchn notification on
introduce_domain") introduced the sending of an event channel to the
guest when first introduced, so that dom0less domains waiting for the
connection would know that xenstore was ready to use.

Unfortunately, it was introduced in introduce_domain(), which 1) is
called by other functions, where such functionality is unneeded, and
2) after the main XS_INTRODUCE call, calls domain_conn_reset().  This
introduces a race condition, whereby if xenstored is delayed, a domain
can wake up, send messages to the buffer, only to have them deleted by
xenstore before finishing its processing of the XS_INTRODUCE message.

Move the connect-and-notfy call into do_introduce() instead, after the
domain_conn_rest(); predicated on the state being in the
XENSTORE_RECONNECT state.

(We don't need to check for "restoring", since that value is always
passed as "false" from do_domain_introduce()).

Also take the opportunity to add a missing wmb barrier after resetting
the indexes of the ring in domain_conn_reset.

This change will also remove an extra event channel notification for
dom0 (because the notification is now done by do_introduce which is not
called for dom0.) The extra dom0 event channel notification was only
introduced by fc2b57c9a and was never present before. It is not needed
because dom0 is the one to tell xenstored the connection parameters, so
dom0 has to know that the ring page is setup correctly by the time
xenstored starts looking at it. It is dom0 that performs the ring page
init.
