xen/pciback: Save xen_pci_op commands before processing it
commit 8135cf8b upstream. Double fetch vulnerabilities that happen when a variable is fetched twice from shared memory but a security check is only performed the first time. The xen_pcibk_do_op function performs a switch statements on the op->cmd value which is stored in shared memory. Interestingly this can result in a double fetch vulnerability depending on the performed compiler optimization. This patch fixes it by saving the xen_pci_op command before processing it. We also use 'barrier' to make sure that the compiler does not perform any optimization. This is part of XSA155.
