    x86/pv: Avoid double exception injection
    
    There is at least one path (SYSENTER with NT set, Xen converts to #GP) which
    ends up injecting the #GP fault twice, first in compat_sysenter(), and then 
a
    second time in compat_test_all_events(), due to the stale TBF_EXCEPTION left
    in TRAPBOUNCE_flags.
    
    The guest kernel sees the second fault first, which is a kernel level #GP
    pointing at the head of the #GP handler, and is therefore a userspace
    trigger-able DoS.
    
    This particular bug has bitten us several times before, so rearrange
    {compat_,}create_bounce_frame() to clobber TRAPBOUNCE on success, rather 
than
    leaving this task to one area of code which isn't used uniformly.
    
    Other scenarios which might result in a double injection (e.g. two calls
    directly to compat_create_bounce_frame) will now crash the guest, which is 
far
    more obvious than letting the kernel run with corrupt state.
    
    This is XSA-339
