Xenstore watch call-backs are already abstracted away from XenBus using
the XenWatch data structure but the associated NotifierList manipulation
and file handle registration is still open coded in various xen_bus_...()
functions.
This patch creates a new XenWatchList data structure to allow these
interactions to be abstracted away from XenBus as well. This is in
preparation for a subsequent patch which will introduce separate watch lists
for XenBus and XenDevice objects.
NOTE: This patch also introduces a new notifier_list_empty() helper function
for the purposes of adding an assertion that a XenWatchList is not
freed whilst its associated NotifierList is still occupied.

notifier_list_notify() has no return value. This is fine when we just
want to invoke side-effects.
Sometimes it's useful for notifiers to produce a return value. This
allows notifiers to "veto" an operation and will be used by the block
layer before-write notifier.
