This gives us a record of all the backends we have set up for a
domain, which is separate from the frontends in
/local/domain/$DOMID/device.
In particular:
1. A guest has write permission for the frontend path:
/local/domain/$DOMID/device/$KIND/$DEVID
which means that the guest can completely delete the frontend.
(They can't recreate it because they don't have write permission
on the containing directory.)
2. A guest has write permission for the backend path recorded in the
frontend, ie, it can write to
/local/domain/$DOMID/device/$KIND/$DEVID/backend
which means that the guest can break the association between
frontend and backend.
So we can't rely on iterating over the frontends to find all the
backends, or examining a frontend to discover how a device is
configured.
So, have libxl__device_generic_add record the frontend and backend
paths in /libxl/$DOMID/device, and have libxl__device_destroy remove
them again.
Create the containing directory /libxl/GUEST/device in
libxl__domain_make. The already existing xs_rm in devices_destroy_cb
will take care of removing it.
This is part of XSA-175.
Backport note: Backported over 7472ced, which fixes a bug in driver
domain teardown.
