Subject: [PATCH v2 1/4] xen/netfront: read response from backend only once

In order to avoid problems in case the backend is modifying a response
on the ring page while the frontend has already seen it, just read the
response into a local buffer in one go and then operate on that buffer
only.

V2:
- use direct structure assignment instead of memcpy() (Jan Beulich)
