Juergen Gross a8fabb3852 xen/xenbus: fix self-deadlock after killing user process 
In case a user process using xenbus has open transactions and is killed
e.g. via ctrl-C the following cleanup of the allocated resources might
result in a deadlock due to trying to end a transaction in the xenbus
worker thread:

[ 2551.474706] INFO: task xenbus:37 blocked for more than 120 seconds.
[ 2551.492215]       Tainted: P           OE     5.0.0-29-generic #5

Fix this by doing the cleanup via a workqueue instead.

README 

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
