xen/blkback: Move the plugging/unplugging to a higher level.
We used to the plug/unplug on the submit_bio. But that means
if within a stream of WRITE, WRITE, WRITE,...,WRITE we have
one READ, it could stall the pipeline (as the 'submio_bio'
could trigger the unplug_fnc to be called and stall/sync
when doing the READ). Instead we want to move the unplugging
when the whole (or as a much as possible) ring buffer has been
processed. This also eliminates us doing plug/unplug for
each request.
