Subject: [PATCH v4] Don't destroy the netdev until the vif is shut down
Without this patch, if a frontend cycles through states Closing
and Closed (which Windows frontends need to do) then the netdev
will be destroyed and requires re-invocation of hotplug scripts
to restore state before the frontend can move to Connected. Thus
when udev is not in use the backend gets stuck in InitWait.
With this patch, the netdev is left alone whilst the backend is
still online and is only de-registered and freed just prior to
destroying the vif (which is also nicely symmetrical with the
netdev allocation and registration being done during probe) so
no re-invocation of hotplug scripts is required.

v2:
- Modify netback_remove() - bug only seemed to manifest with linux guest
v3:
- Move __module_get() and module_put() calls
v4:
- Clear tx_irq in xenvif_disconnect() to make sure that a subsequent
call to xenvif_connect() doesn't get nop-ed.
