[ Upstream commit 822fb18a82abaf4ee7058793d95d340f5dab7bfc ]

When loading module manually, after call xenbus_switch_state to initializes
the state of the netfront device, the driver state did not change so fast
that may lead no dev created in latest kernel. This patch adds wait to make
sure xenbus knows the driver is not in closed/unknown state.

Current state:
[vm]# ethtool eth0
Settings for eth0:
	Link detected: yes
[vm]# modprobe -r xen_netfront
[vm]# modprobe  xen_netfront
[vm]# ethtool eth0
Settings for eth0:
Cannot get device settings: No such device
Cannot get wake-on-lan settings: No such device
Cannot get message level: No such device
Cannot get link status: No such device
No data available

With the patch installed.
[vm]# ethtool eth0
Settings for eth0:
	Link detected: yes
[vm]# modprobe -r xen_netfront
[vm]# modprobe xen_netfront
[vm]# ethtool eth0
Settings for eth0:
	Link detected: yes
