xen-blkfront: Advertise feature-persistent as user requested
commit 9f5e0fe upstream. The advertisement of the persistent grants feature (writing 'feature-persistent' to xenbus) should mean not the decision for using the feature but only the availability of the feature. However, commit 74a8524 ("xen-blkfront: add a parameter for disabling of persistent grants") made a field of blkfront, which was a place for saving only the negotiation result, to be used for yet another purpose: caching of the 'feature_persistent' parameter value. As a result, the advertisement, which should follow only the parameter value, becomes inconsistent. This commit fixes the misuse of the semantic by making blkfront saves the parameter value in a separate place and advertises the support based on only the saved value.
