xen/event: Add reference counting to event channels
Event channels exposed to userspace by the evtchn module may be used by other modules in an asynchronous manner, which requires that reference counting be used to prevent the event channel from being closed before the signals are delivered. The reference count on new event channels defaults to -1 which indicates the event channel is not referenced outside the kernel; evtchn_get fails if called on such an event channel. The event channels made visible to userspace by evtchn have a normal reference count.
