'xenbus_backend' watches 'state' of devices, which is writable by
guests. Hence, if guests intensively updates it, dom0 will have lots of
pending events that exhausting memory of dom0. In other words, guests
can trigger dom0 memory pressure. This is known as XSA-349. However,
the watch callback of it, 'frontend_changed()', reads only 'state', so
doesn't need to have the pending events.
To avoid the problem, this commit disallows pending watch messages for
'xenbus_backend' using the 'will_handle()' watch callback.
This is part of XSA-349
