xen/blkback: make pool of persistent grants and free pages per-queue
Make pool of persistent grants and free pages per-queue/ring instead of
per-device to get better scalability.
Test was done based on null_blk driver:
dom0: v4.2-rc8 16vcpus 10GB "modprobe null_blk"
domu: v4.2-rc8 16vcpus 10GB

Results:
iops1: After patch "xen/blkfront: make persistent grants per-queue".
iops2: After this patch.
Queues: 1 4 8 16
Iops orig(k): 810 1064 780 700
Iops1(k): 810 1230(~20%) 1024(~20%) 850(~20%)
Iops2(k): 810 1410(~35%) 1354(~75%) 1440(~100%)
With 4 queues after this commit we can get ~75% increase in IOPS, and
performance won't drop if increasing queue numbers.
