xen-blkfront: Cache feature_persistent value before advertisement

commit fe8f65b018effbf473f53af3538d0c1878b8b329 upstream.

Xen blkfront advertises its support of the persistent grants feature
when it first setting up and when resuming in 'talk_to_blkback()'.
Then, blkback reads the advertised value when it connects with blkfront
and decides if it will use the persistent grants feature or not, and
advertises its decision to blkfront.  Blkfront reads the blkback's
decision and it also makes the decision for the use of the feature.

Commit 402c43ea6b34 ("xen-blkfront: Apply 'feature_persistent' parameter
when connect"), however, made the blkfront's read of the parameter for
disabling the advertisement, namely 'feature_persistent', to be done
when it negotiate, not when advertise.  Therefore blkfront advertises
without reading the parameter.  As the field for caching the parameter
value is zero-initialized, it always advertises as the feature is
disabled, so that the persistent grants feature becomes always disabled.

This commit fixes the issue by making the blkfront does parmeter caching
just before the advertisement.
