    xen-hvm: Allow disabling buffer_io_timer
    
    commit f37f29d31488 "xen: slightly simplify bufioreq handling" hard
    coded setting req.count = 1 during initial field setup before the main
    loop.  This missed a subtlety that an early exit from the loop when
    there are no ioreqs to process, would have req.count == 0 for the return
    value.  handle_buffered_io() would then remove state->buffered_io_timer.
    Instead handle_buffered_iopage() is basically always returning true and
    handle_buffered_io() always re-setting the timer.
    
    Restore the disabling of the timer by introducing a new handled_ioreq
    boolean and use as the return value.  The named variable will more
    clearly show the intent of the code.
