xen/grant-table: Simplify the update to the per-vCPU maptrack freelist
Since XSA-228 (commit 02cbeeb62075 "gnttab: split maptrack lock
to make it fulfill its purpose again"), v->maptrack_head,
v->maptrack_tail and the content of the freelist are accessed with
the lock v->maptrack_freelist_lock held.
Therefore it is not necessary to update the fields using cmpxchg()
and also read them atomically.
Note that there are two cases where v->maptrack_tail is accessed without
the lock. They both happen in get_maptrack_handle() when initializing
the free list of the current vCPU. Therefore there is no possible race.
The code is now reworked to remove any use of cmpxch() and read_atomic()
when accessing the fields v->maptrack_{head, tail} as wel as the
freelist.
Take the opportunity to add a comment on top of the lock definition
and explain what it protects.
