xen/blkback: free requests on disconnection

This is due to  commit 86839c56dee28c315a4c19b7bfee450ccd84cd25
"xen/block: add multi-page ring support"

When using an guest under UEFI - after the domain is destroyed
the following warning comes from blkback.

Request allocation has been moved to connect_ring, which is called every
time blkback connects to the frontend (this can happen multiple times during
a blkback instance life cycle). On the other hand, request freeing has not
been moved, so it's only called when destroying the backend instance. Due to
this mismatch, blkback can allocate the request pool multiple times, without
freeing it.

In order to fix it, move the freeing of requests to xen_blkif_disconnect to
restore the symmetry between request allocation and freeing.
