xen/netfront: stop tx queues during live migration



[ Upstream commit 042b2046d0f05cf8124c26ff65dbb6148a4404fb ]

The tx queues are not stopped during the live migration. As a result, the
ndo_start_xmit() may access netfront_info->queues which is freed by
talk_to_netback()->xennet_destroy_queues().

This patch is to netif_device_detach() at the beginning of xen-netfront
resuming, and netif_device_attach() at the end of resuming.

     CPU A                                CPU B

 talk_to_netback()
 -> if (info->queues)
        xennet_destroy_queues(info);
    to free netfront_info->queues

                                        xennet_start_xmit()
                                        to access netfront_info->queues

  -> err = xennet_create_queues(info, &num_queues);

The idea is borrowed from virtio-net.
