When acquiring a transitive grant for copy then the owning domain needs to
be locked down as well as the granting domain. This was being done, but the
unlocking was not. The acquire code now stores the struct domain * of the
owning domain (rather than the domid) in the active entry in the granting
domain. The release code then does the unlock on the owning domain.
Note that I believe I also fixed a bug where, for non-transitive grants
the active entry contained a reference to the acquiring domain rather
than the granting domain. From my reading of the code this would stop the
release code for transitive grants from terminating its recursion
correctly.
