xen-blkfront: add callbacks for PM suspend and hibernation
S4 power transition states are much different than xen suspend/resume. Former is visible to the guest and frontend drivers should be aware of the state transitions and should be able to take appropriate actions when needed. In transition to S4 we need to make sure that at least all the in-flight blkif requests get completed, since they probably contain bits of the guest's memory image and that's not going to get saved any other way. Hence, re-issuing of in-flight requests as in case of xen resume will not work here. This is in contrast to xen-suspend where we need to freeze with as little processing as possible to avoid dirtying RAM late in the migration cycle and we know that in-flight data can wait. Add freeze, thaw and restore callbacks for PM suspend and hibernation support. All frontend drivers that needs to use PM_HIBERNATION/PM_SUSPEND events, need to implement these xenbus_driver callbacks. The freeze handler stops block-layer queue and disconnect the frontend from the backend while freeing ring_info and associated resources. Before disconnecting from the backend, we need to prevent any new IO from being queued and wait for existing IO to complete. Freeze/unfreeze of the queues will guarantee that there are no requests in use on the shared ring. However, for sanity we should check state of the ring before disconnecting to make sure that there are no outstanding requests to be processed on the ring. The restore handler re-allocates ring_info, unquiesces and unfreezes the queue and re-connect to the backend, so that rest of the kernel can continue to use the block device transparently. Note:For older backends,if a backend doesn't have commit'12ea729645ace' xen/blkback: unmap all persistent grants when frontend gets disconnected, the frontend may see massive amount of grant table warning when freeing resources.
