Yeah, this still left too much cruft in blkfront_closing.  Can you
try this version instead?

Subject: xen-blkfront: sanitize the removal state machine

xen-blkfront has a weird protocol where close message from the remote
side can be delayed, and where hot removals are treated somewhat
differently from regular removals, all leading to potential NULL
pointer removals.  Fix this by just performing normal hot removals
even when the device is opened like all other Linux block drivers.
