"be->mode" is obtained from xenbus_read(), which does a kmalloc() for
the message body. The short string is never released, so do it along
with freeing "be" itself, and make sure the string isn't kept when
backend_changed() doesn't complete successfully (which made it
desirable to slightly re-structure that function, so that the error
cleanup can be done in one place).

I think a single | works as intended, but || was meant?

No, I indeed meant to use | (as producing better code even with
a compiler not knowing of that transformation).
