Subject: [PATCH] xen/events: avoid NULL pointer dereference in evtchn_from_irq()

There have been reports of races in evtchn_from_irq() where the info
pointer has been NULL.

Avoid that case by testing info before dereferencing it.

In order to avoid accessing a just freed info structure do the kfree()
via kfree_rcu().
