Subject: [PATCH 4.2.y-ckt 234/305] xen-netback: use RING_COPY_REQUEST() throughout

4.2.8-ckt2 -stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

---8<------------------------------------------------------------

From: David Vrabel <david.vrabel@...rix.com>

commit 68a33bfd8403e4e22847165d149823a2e0e67c9c upstream.

Instead of open-coding memcpy()s and directly accessing Tx and Rx
requests, use the new RING_COPY_REQUEST() that ensures the local copy
is correct.

This is more than is strictly necessary for guest Rx requests since
only the id and gref fields are used and it is harmless if the
frontend modifies these.

This is part of XSA155.
