drivers: xen-blkfront: only talk_to_blkback() when in XenbusStateInitialising
Patch 69b91ede "drivers: xen-blkback: delay pending_req allocation to connect_ring" exposed an problem that Xen blkfront has. There is a race with XenStored and the drivers such that we can see two: vbd vbd-268440320: blkfront:blkback_changed to state 2. vbd vbd-268440320: blkfront:blkback_changed to state 2. vbd vbd-268440320: blkfront:blkback_changed to state 4. state changes to XenbusStateInitWait ('2'). The end result is that blkback_changed() receives two notify and calls twice setup_blkring(). While the backend driver may only get the first setup_blkring() which is wrong and reads out-dated (or reads them as they are being updated with new ring-ref values). The end result is that the ring ends up being incorrectly set. The other drivers in the tree have such checks already in.
