[PATCH RFC 04/12] xen-blkfront: pre-allocate pages for requests

[Roger Pau Monne <roger.pau@citrix.com>]

This prevents us from having to call alloc_page while we are preparing
the request. Since blkfront was calling alloc_page with a spinlock
held we used GFP_ATOMIC, which can fail if we are requesting a lot of
pages since it is using the emergency memory pools.

Allocating all the pages at init prevents us from having to call
alloc_page, thus preventing possible failures.
