xenbus: req->body should be updated before req->state
The req->body should be updated before req->state is updated and the order should be guaranteed by a barrier. Otherwise, read_reply() might return req->body = NULL. Below is sample callstack when the issue is reproduced on purpose by reordering the updates of req->body and req->state and adding delay in code between updates of req->state and req->body.
