Rahul Singh 58f6259b7a xen/evtchn: Introduce new IOCTL to bind static evtchn
Xen 4.17 supports the creation of static evtchns. To allow user space
application to bind static evtchns introduce new ioctl
"IOCTL_EVTCHN_BIND_STATIC". Existing IOCTL doing more than binding
that’s why we need to introduce the new IOCTL to only bind the static
event channels.

Static evtchns to be available for use during the lifetime of the
guest. When the application exits, __unbind_from_irq() ends up being
called from release() file operations because of that static evtchns
are getting closed. To avoid closing the static event channel, add the
new bool variable "is_static" in "struct irq_info" to mark the event
channel static when creating the event channel to avoid closing the
static evtchn.

Also, take this opportunity to remove the open-coded version of the
evtchn close in drivers/xen/evtchn.c file and use xen_evtchn_close().
