evtchn/Flask: pre-allocate node on send path

xmalloc() & Co may not be called with IRQs off, or else check_lock()
will have its assertion trigger about locks getting acquired
inconsistently. Re-arranging the locking in evtchn_send() doesn't seem
very reasonable, especially since the per-channel lock was introduced to
avoid acquiring the per-domain event lock on the send paths. Issue a
second call to xsm_evtchn_send() instead, before acquiring the lock, to
give XSM / Flask a chance to pre-allocate whatever it may need.

As these nodes are used merely for caching earlier decisions' results,
allocate just one node in AVC code despite two potentially being needed.
Things will merely be not as performant if a second allocation was
wanted, just like when the pre-allocation fails.

Fixes: c0ddc8634845 ("evtchn: convert per-channel lock to be IRQ-safe")
