[PATCH 2/6] xen-netfront: copy response out of shared buffer before accessing it

[Marek Marczykowski-GÃrecki]

Make local copy of the response, otherwise backend might modify it while
frontend is already processing it - leading to time of check / time of
use issue.

This is complementary to XSA155.
