The Xen specific queue spinlock wait function has two issues which
could result in a hanging system.
They have a similar root cause of clearing a pending wakeup of a
waiting vcpu and later going to sleep waiting for the just cleared
wakeup event, which of course won't ever happen.

Yes, they are.
I have them already queued in the Xen tree. As the bug is rather
old I didn't want to rush the patches in so late in the rc phase of
4.19.
