xen-bus / xen-block: add support for event channel polling

This patch introduces a poll callback for event channel fd-s and uses
this to invoke the channel callback function.

To properly support polling, it is necessary for the event channel callback
function to return a boolean saying whether it has done any useful work or
not. Thus xen_block_dataplane_event() is modified to directly invoke
xen_block_handle_requests() and the latter only returns true if it actually
processes any requests. This also means that the call to qemu_bh_schedule()
is moved into xen_block_complete_aio(), which is more intuitive since the
only reason for doing a deferred poll of the shared ring should be because
there were previously insufficient resources to fully complete a previous
poll.
