[Qemu-stable] [PULL 1/2] xen/blkif: Avoid double access to src->nr_segments |

src is stored in shared memory and src->nr_segments is dereferenced
twice at the end of the function. If a compiler decides to compile this
into two separate memory accesses then the size limitation could be
bypassed.
Fix it by removing the double access to src->nr_segments.
This is part of XSA-155.
