[PATCH] tools/xenstored: Stash the correct request in lu_status->in



From: Julien Grall <jgrall@xxxxxxxxxx>

When Live-Updating with some load, Xenstored may hit the assert
req->in == lu_status->in in do_lu_start().

This is happening because the request is stashed when Live-Update
begins. This happens in a different request (see call lu_begin()
when select the new binary) from the one performing Live-Update.

To avoid the problem, stash the request in lu_start().

Fixes: 65f19ed62aa1 ("tools/xenstore: Don't assume conn->in points to the LU 
request")
Reported-by: Michael Kurth <mku@xxxxxxxxxx>
Signed-off-by: Julien Grall <jgrall@xxxxxxxxxx>

----

This was sadly missed because the on my testing the 2 requests were
residing at the same place in memory.

This was reproduced by creating domain while Live-Updating. Without
the patch, Xenstored will crash.
