xen-blkback: set ring->xenblkd to NULL after kthread_stop()

When xen_blkif_disconnect() is called, the kernel thread behind the
block interface is stopped by calling kthread_stop(ring->xenblkd).
The ring->xenblkd thread pointer being non-NULL determines if the
thread has been already stopped.
Normally, the thread's function xen_blkif_schedule() sets the
ring->xenblkd to NULL, when the thread's main loop ends.

However, when the thread has not been started yet (i.e.
wake_up_process() has not been called on it), the xen_blkif_schedule()
function would not be called yet.

In such case the kthread_stop() call returns -EINTR and the
ring->xenblkd remains dangling.
When this happens, any consecutive call to xen_blkif_disconnect (for
example in frontend_changed() callback) leads to a kernel crash in
kthread_stop() (e.g. NULL pointer dereference in exit_creds()).

This is XSA-350.
