commit 4d3fe31bd993ef504350989786858aefdb877daa upstream.
A follow-up patch will require certain write to happen before an event channel is unmasked.
While the memory barrier is not strictly necessary for all the callers, the main one will need it. In order to avoid an extra memory barrier when using fifo event channels, mandate evtchn_unmask() to provide write ordering.
The 2-level event handling unmask operation is missing an appropriate barrier, so add it. Fifo event channels are fine in this regard due to using sync_cmpxchg().
This is part of XSA-332.
