[PATCH] xen-block: Use specific blockdev driver

[Anthony PERARD <anthony.perard@xxxxxxxxxx>]

From: Anthony PERARD <anthony.perard@xxxxxxxxxx>

... when a xen-block backend instance is created via xenstore.

Following 8d17adf34f50 ("block: remove support for using "file" driver
with block/char devices"), using the "file" blockdev driver for
everything doesn't work anymore, we need to use the "host_device"
driver when the disk image is a block device and "file" driver when it
is a regular file.
