Today a guest is free to access as many nodes in a single transaction
as it wants. This can lead to unbounded memory consumption in Xenstore
as there is the need to keep track of all nodes having been accessed
during a transaction.
In oxenstored the number of requests in a transaction is being limited
via a quota maxrequests (default is 1024). As multiple accesses of a
node are not problematic in C Xenstore, limit the number of accessed
nodes.
In order to let read_node() detect a quota error in case too many nodes
are being accessed, check the return value of access_node() and return
NULL in case an error has been seen. Introduce __must_check and add it
to the access_node() prototype.
This is part of XSA-326 / CVE-2022-42314.
