[PATCH] evtchn: double per-channel locking can't hit identical channels



Inter-domain channels can't possibly be bound to themselves, there's
always a 2nd channel involved, even when this is a loopback into the
same domain. As a result we can drop one conditional each from the two
involved functions.

With this, the number of evtchn_write_lock() invocations can also be
shrunk by half, swapping the two incoming function arguments instead.
