As find_xen_grant_dma_data() is called from both interrupt and process
contexts, the access to xen_grant_dma_devices XArray must be protected
by xa_lock_irqsave to avoid deadlock scenario.
As XArray API doesn't provide xa_store_irqsave helper, call lockless
__xa_store directly and guard it externally.

Also move the storage of the XArray's entry to a separate helper.
