We have split the setting up of all the resources in two steps:
1) talk_to_blkback - which figures out the num_ring_pages (from
the default value of zero), sets up shadow and so
2) blkfront_connect - does the real part of filling out the
internal structures.
The problem is if we bypass the 1) step and go straight to 2)
and call blkfront_setup_indirect where we use the macro
BLK_RING_SIZE - which returns an negative value (because
sz is zero - since num_ring_pages is zero - since it has never
been set).
We can fix this by making sure that we always have called
talk_to_blkback before going to blkfront_connect.
Or we could set in blkfront_probe info->nr_ring_pages = 1
to have a default value. But that looks odd - as we haven't
actually negotiated any ring size.
This patch changes XenbusStateConnected state to detect if
we haven't done the initial handshake - and if so continue
on as if were in XenbusStateInitWait state.
We also roll the error recovery (freeing the structure) into
talk_to_blkback error path - which is safe since that function
is only called from blkback_changed.
