xen-netfront: wait xenbus state change when load module manually When loading module manually, after call xenbus_switch_state to initializes the state of the netfront device, the driver state did not change so fast that may lead no dev created in latest kernel. This patch adds wait to make sure xenbus knows the driver is not in closed/unknown state.
