SeongJae Park 31dc3b1562 xen-blkfront: Apply 'feature_persistent' parameter when connect 
commit 402c43ea6b upstream.

In some use cases[1], the backend is created while the frontend doesn't
support the persistent grants feature, but later the frontend can be
changed to support the feature and reconnect.  In the past, 'blkback'
enabled the persistent grants feature since it unconditionally checked
if frontend supports the persistent grants feature for every connect
('connect_ring()') and decided whether it should use persistent grans or
not.

However, commit aac8a70db2 ("xen-blkback: add a parameter for
disabling of persistent grants") has mistakenly changed the behavior.
It made the frontend feature support check to not be repeated once it
shown the 'feature_persistent' as 'false', or the frontend doesn't
support persistent grants.

Similar behavioral change has made on 'blkfront' by commit 74a852479c
("xen-blkfront: add a parameter for disabling of persistent grants").
This commit changes the behavior of the parameter to make effect for
every connect, so that the previous behavior of 'blkfront' can be
restored.

README 

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
