Subject: [PATCH net-next v2 1/2] xen-netback: add a vif-is-connected flag

Having applied my patch to separate vif disconnect and free, I ran into a
BUG when testing resume from S3 with a Windows frontend because the vif task
pointer was not cleared by xenvif_disconnect() and so a double call to this
function tries to stop the thread twice.
Rather than applying a point fix for that issue it seems better to introduce
a boolean to indicate whether the vif is connected or not such that repeated
calls to either xenvif_connect() or xenvif_disconnect() behave appropriately.
