4.14-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Jason Andryuk jandryuk@gmail.com
commit c2d2e6738a209f0f9dffa2dc8e7292fc45360d61 upstream.
A toolstack may delete the vif frontend and backend xenstore entries while xen-netfront is in the removal code path. In that case, the checks for xenbus_read_driver_state would return XenbusStateUnknown, and xennet_remove would hang indefinitely. This hang prevents system shutdown.
xennet_remove must be able to handle XenbusStateUnknown, and netback_changed must also wake up the wake_queue for that state as well.
Fixes: 5b5971df3bc2 ("xen-netfront: remove warning when unloading module")
