xen-scsiback: mark pvscsi frontend request consumed only after last read
A request in the ring buffer mustn't be read after it has been marked as consumed. Otherwise it might already have been reused by the frontend without violating the ring protocol. To avoid inconsistencies in the backend only work on a private copy of the request. This will ensure a malicious guest not being able to bypass consistency checks of the backend by modifying an active request.
