libxl: fd events: Suppress spurious fd events
    
    Always recheck with poll() right before making the callback.
    
    All sorts of things may have happened since poll() originally signaled
    the fd.  We would like the main functional libxl code not to have to
    worry about spurious wakeups.
    
    In particular, this fixes a bug in the save/restore callout: the save
    helper message reader operates with the fd in blocking mode.  In a
    multithreaded program one thread might have eaten all the messages out
    of the fd while another one is busy returning from poll and reacquiring
    the libxl lock, possibly resulting in a deadlock.
    
    (Also, we abolish the anomalous direct caller of efd->func.)
