xen-netfront: avoid crashing on resume after a failure in talk_to_net…
…back() commit d86b567 upstream. Unavoidable crashes in netfront_resume() and netback_changed() after a previous fail in talk_to_netback() (e.g. when we fail to read MAC from xenstore) were discovered. The failure path in talk_to_netback() does unregister/free for netdev but we don't reset drvdata and we try accessing it after resume. Fix the bug by removing the whole xen device completely with device_unregister(), this guarantees we won't have any calls into netfront after a failure.
