    evtchn/FIFO: re-order and synchronize (with) map_control_block()
    
    For evtchn_fifo_set_pending()'s check of the control block having been
    set to be effective, ordering of respective reads and writes needs to be
    ensured: The control block pointer needs to be recorded strictly after
    the setting of all the queue heads, and it needs checking strictly
    before any uses of them (this latter aspect was already guaranteed).
    
    This is XSA-358 / CVE-2020-29570.
