Subject: [PATCH v9 1/7] xen-netback: Move grant_copy_op array back into struct xenvif.

From: "Andrew J. Bennieston" <andrew.bennieston@...rix.com>

This array was allocated separately in commit ac3d5ac2 due to it being
very large, and a struct xenvif is allocated as the netdev_priv part of
a struct net_device, i.e. via kmalloc() but falling back to vmalloc() if
the initial alloc. fails.

In preparation for the multi-queue patches, where this array becomes
part of struct xenvif_queue and is always allocated through vzalloc(),
move this back into the struct xenvif.
