xen-netback: move removal of "hotplug-status" to the right place
The removal of "hotplug-status" has moved around a bit. First it was
moved from netback_remove() to hotplug_status_changed() in upstream
commit
af6e0faac217 ("xen-netback: remove 'hotplug-status' once it has
served its purpose"). Then the change was reverted in upstream commit
760c50d0780d ("Revert "xen-netback: remove 'hotplug-status' once it has
served its purpose""), but it moved the removal to backend_disconnect().
Then the upstream commit
5546b2b813b0 ("xen-netback: only remove
'hotplug-status' when the vif is actually destroyed") moved it finally
back to netback_remove(). The thing to note being it is removed
unconditionally this time around.
The story on v5.4.y adds to this confusion. Commit
40b89e4803b6 ("Revert
"xen-netback: remove 'hotplug-status' once it has served its purpose"")
is backported to v5.4.y but the original commit that it tries to revert
was never present on 5.4. So the backport incorrectly ends up just
adding another xenbus_rm() of "hotplug-status" in backend_disconnect().
Now in v5.4.y it is removed in both backend_disconnect() and
netback_remove(). But it should only be removed in netback_remove(), as
the upstream version does.
Removing "hotplug-status" in backend_disconnect() causes problems when
the frontend unilaterally disconnects, as explained in
5546b2b813b0 ("xen-netback: only remove 'hotplug-status' when the vif is
actually destroyed").
Remove "hotplug-status" in the same place as it is done on the upstream
version to ensure unilateral re-connection of frontend continues to
work.
