[PATCH 2/3] xen-pciback: reconfigure also from backend watch handler

[Jan Beulich <jbeulich@xxxxxxxx>]

When multiple PCI devices get assigned to a guest right at boot, libxl
incrementally populates the backend tree. The writes for the first of
the devices trigger the backend watch. In turn xen_pcibk_setup_backend()
will set the XenBus state to Initialised, at which point no further
reconfigures would happen unless a device got hotplugged. Arrange for
reconfigure to also get triggered from the backend watch handler.

I will admit that this isn't entirely race-free (with the guest actually
attaching in parallel), but from the looks of it such a race ought to be
benign (not the least thanks to the mutex). Ideally the tool stack
wouldn't write num_devs until all devices had their information
populated. I tried doing so in libxl, but xen_pcibk_setup_backend()
calling xenbus_dev_fatal() when not being able to read that node
prohibits such an approach (or else libxl and driver changes would need
to go into use in lock-step).

I wonder why what is being watched isn't just the num_devs node. Right
now the watch triggers quite frequently without anything relevant
actually having changed (I suppose in at least some cases in response
to writes by the backend itself).
