Subject: [Patch] Incoming XPC channel messages can come in after the
 channel's partition structures have been torn down.


Under some workloads, some channel messages have been observed being
delayed on the sending side past the point where the receiving side
has been able to tear down its partition structures.  This condition is
already detected in xpc_handle_activate_IRQ_uv(), but that information
is not given to xpc_handle_activate_mq_msg_uv().  As a result,
xpc_handle_activate_mq_msg_uv() assumes the structures still exist and
references them.
