3.11-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

From: David Vrabel <david.vra...@citrix.com>
[ Upstream commit dc62ccaccfb139d9b04bbc5a2688a4402adbfab3 ]
If a guest is destroyed without transitioning its frontend to CLOSED,
the domain becomes a zombie as netback was not grant unmapping the
shared rings.
When removing a VIF, transition the backend to CLOSED so the VIF is
disconnected if necessary (which will unmap the shared rings etc).
This fixes a regression introduced by
279f438e36c0a70b23b86d2090aeec50155034a9 (xen-netback: Don't destroy
the netdev until the vif is shut down).
