i386/xen: prevent guest from binding loopback event channel to itself


From: David Woodhouse
Subject: i386/xen: prevent guest from binding loopback event channel to itself
Date: Tue, 25 Jul 2023 11:05:02 +0100
User-agent: Evolution 3.44.4-0ubuntu1

From: David Woodhouse <dwmw@amazon.co.uk>

Fuzzing showed that a guest could bind an interdomain port to itself, by
guessing the next port to be allocated and putting that as the 'remote'
port number. By chance, that works because the newly-allocated port has
type EVTCHNSTAT_unbound. It shouldn't.
