The xenstore 'ring-page-order' is used globally for each blkback queue and
therefore should be read from xenstore only once. However, it is obtained
in read_per_ring_refs() which might be called multiple times during the
initialization of each blkback queue.
If the blkfront is malicious and the 'ring-page-order' is set in different
value by blkfront every time before blkback reads it, this may end up at
the "WARN_ON(i != (XEN_BLKIF_REQS_PER_PAGE * blkif->nr_ring_pages));" in
xen_blkif_disconnect() when frontend is destroyed.
This patch reworks connect_ring() to read xenstore 'ring-page-order' only
once.

Changed since v1:
* change the order of xenstore read in read_per_ring_refs
* use xenbus_read_unsigned() in connect_ring()
Changed since v2:
* simplify the condition check as "(err != 1 && nr_grefs > 1)"
* avoid setting err as -EINVAL to remove extra one line of code

Why not exit if !nr_grefs? There's nothing useful for this function to do in that case.

Seems odd to test (err != 1) twice. I'd prefer:
if (err != 1) {
if (nr_grefs == 1)
break;
<fatal error exit>
}
Either that or simply break if err != 1 and then...

...add a check and fatal error exit here if nr_grefs != 1.

That's one more be->blkif. I think it's overdue to initialize a 'blkif' stack variable in this function and use that.
