[PATCH] block: xen-blkback: don't get/put blkif ref for each queue

[Bob Liu]

xen_blkif_get/put() for each queue is useless, and introduces a bug:

If there is I/O inflight when removing device, xen_blkif_disconnect() will
return -EBUSY and xen_blkif_put() not be called.
Which means the references are leaked, then even if I/O completed, the
xen_blkif_put() won't call xen_blkif_deferred_free() to free resources anymore.
