Subject: [PATCH] xen-blkback: free requests on disconnection

Request allocation has been moved to connect_ring, which is called every
time blkback connects to the frontend (this can happen multiple times during
a blkback instance life cycle). On the other hand, request freeing has not
been moved, so it's only called when destroying the backend instance. Due to
this mismatch, blkback can allocate the request pool multiple times, without
freeing it.

In order to fix it, move the freeing of requests to xen_blkif_disconnect to
restore the symmetry between request allocation and freeing.
