xen/grant-table: add gnttab_try_end_foreign_access()

Commit 6b1775f26a2da2b05a6dc8ec2b5d14e9a4701a1a upstream.

Add a new grant table function gnttab_try_end_foreign_access(), which
will remove and free a grant if it is not in use.

Its main use case is to either free a grant if it is no longer in use,
or to take some other action if it is still in use. This other action
can be an error exit, or (e.g. in the case of blkfront persistent grant
feature) some special handling.

This is CVE-2022-23036, CVE-2022-23038 / part of XSA-396.
