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().
