[PATCH for-4.6 1/2] libxl: fix devd removal path

[Roger Pau Monne <roger.pau@citrix.com>]

The current flow of the devd helper (in charge of launching hotplug scripts
inside of driver domains) is to wait for the device backend to switch to
state 6 (XenbusStateClosed) and then remove it. This is not correct, since
a domain can reconnect it's PV devices as many times as it wants.

In order to fix this, introduce the following logic: the control domain will
set the "online" backend node to 0 when it wants the driver domain to
disconnect the device, so now the condition applied in devd is that "state"
must be 6 and "online" 0 in order to proceed with the disconnection.
