The right place for talk_to_blkback() to query backend features and transport
parameters is after backend entered XenbusStateInitWait. There is no problem
with this yet, but it is an violation of the design and furthermore it would not
allow frontend/backend to negotiate 'multi-page' and 'multi-queue' features
which require this.
This patch move talk_to_blkback() to blkback_changed() after backend entered
XenbusStateInitWait just like blkif.h defined:
See: xen/include/public/io/blkif.h
