<title>xen/blkback: Make optional features be really optional.</title>

They were using the xenbus_dev_fatal() function which would
change the state of the connection immediately. Which is not
what we want when we advertise optional features.

So make 'feature-discard','feature-barrier','feature-flush-cache'
optional.

<title>xen/blkback: Squash the discard support for 'file' and 'phy' type.</title>

The only reason for the distinction was for the special case of
'file' (which is assumed to be loopback device), was to reach inside
the loopback device, find the underlaying file, and call fallocate on it.
Fortunately "xen-blkback: convert hole punching to discard request on
loop devices" removes that use-case and we now based the discard
support based on blk_queue_discard(q) and extract all appropriate
parameters from the 'struct request_queue'.

<content type='text'>
The 'name', 'owner', and 'mod_name' members are redundant with the
identically named fields in the 'driver' sub-structure. Rather than
switching each instance to specify these fields explicitly, introduce
a macro to simplify this.

Eliminate further redundancy by allowing the drvname argument to
DEFINE_XENBUS_DRIVER() to be blank (in which case the first entry from
the ID table will be used for .driver.name).

Also eliminate the questionable xenbus_register_{back,front}end()
wrappers - their sole remaining purpose was the checking of the
'owner' field, proper setting of which shouldn't be an issue anymore
when the macro gets used.

v2: Restore DRV_NAME for the driver name in xen-pciback.

As of dfaa2ef68e80c378e610e3c8c536f1c239e8d3ef, loop devices support
discard request now. We could just issue a discard request, and
the loop driver will punch the hole for us, so we don't need to touch
the internals of loop device and punch the hole ourselves, Thanks.
