i386/xen: consistent locking around Xen singleshot timers
Coverity points out (CID 1507534, 1507968) that we sometimes access
env->xen_singleshot_timer_ns under the protection of
env->xen_timers_lock and sometimes not.

This isn't always an issue. There are two modes for the timers; if the
kernel supports the EVTCHN_SEND capability then it handles all the timer
hypercalls and delivery internally, and all we use the field for is to
get/set the timer as part of the vCPU state via an ioctl(). If the
kernel doesn't have that support, then we do all the emulation within
qemu, and *those* are the code paths where we actually care about the
locking.

But it doesn't hurt to be a little bit more consistent and avoid having
to explain *why* it's OK.
