    xen/page_alloc: Don't hold the heap_lock when clearing PGC_need_scrub
    
    Currently, the heap_lock is held when clearing PGC_need_scrub in
    alloc_heap_pages(). However, this is unnecessary because the only caller
    (mark_page_offline()) that can concurrently modify the count_info is
    using cmpxchg() in a loop.
    
    Therefore, rework the code to avoid holding the heap_lock and use
    test_and_clear_bit() instead.
