    x86/shadow: fix race condition sampling the dirty vram state
    
    d->arch.hvm_domain.dirty_vram must be read with the domain's paging lock 
held.
    
    If not, two concurrent hypercalls could both end up attempting to free
    dirty_vram (the second of which will free a wild pointer), or both end up
    allocating a new dirty_vram structure (the first of which will be leaked).
    
    This is XSA-104.
