    xen/vm-event: Remove unnecessary vm_event_domain indirection
    
    The use of (*ved)-> leads to poor code generation, as the compiler can't
    assume the pointer hasn't changed, and results in hard-to-follow code.
    
    For both vm_event_{en,dis}able(), rename the ved parameter to p_ved, and
    work primarily with a local ved pointer.
    
    This has a key advantage in vm_event_enable(), in that the partially
    constructed vm_event_domain only becomes globally visible once it is
    fully constructed.  As a consequence, the spinlock doesn't need holding.
    
    Furthermore, rearrange the order of operations to be more sensible.
    Check for repeated enables and an bad HVM_PARAM before allocating
    memory, and gather the trivial setup into one place, dropping the
    redundant zeroing.
    
    No practical change that callers will notice.
