Subject: [PATCH 3.19.y-ckt 020/102] xen-blkfront: don't add indirect pages to list when !feature_persistent

3.19.8-ckt7 -stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Bob Liu <bob.liu@...cle.com>

commit 7b0767502b5db11cb1f0daef2d01f6d71b1192dc upstream.

We should consider info->feature_persistent when adding indirect page to list
info->indirect_pages, else the BUG_ON() in blkif_free() would be triggered.

When we are using persistent grants the indirect_pages list
should always be empty because blkfront has pre-allocated enough
persistent pages to fill all requests on the ring.
