Subject: [PATCH] xen/blkfront: restart request queue when there is enough persistent_gnts_c
When there is no enough free grants, gnttab_alloc_grant_references()
will fail and block request queue will stop.
If the system is always lack of grants, blkif_restart_queue_callback() can't be
scheduled and block request queue can't be restart(block I/O hang).
But when there are former requests complete, some grants may free to
persistent_gnts_c, we can give the request queue another chance to restart and
avoid block hang.
