xen-blkback: defer freeing blkif to avoid blocking xenwatch
Currently xenwatch blocks in VBD disconnect, waiting for all pending I/O
requests to finish. If the VBD is attached to a hot-swappable disk, then
xenwatch can hang for a long period of time, stalling other watches.
INFO: task xenwatch:39 blocked for more than 120 seconds.
"echo 0 > /proc/sys/kernel/hung_task_timeout_secs" disables this message.

With this patch, when there is still pending I/O, the actual disconnect
is done by the last reference holder (last pending I/O request). In this
case, xenwatch doesn't block indefinitely.
