xen-netback: clear vif->task on disconnect
xenvif_start_xmit() relies on checking vif->task for NULL to determine whether the vif is ready to accept packets. The task thread is stopped in xenvif_disconnect() but task is not set to NULL. Thus, on a re-connect the check will give a false positive. Also since commit ea732dff5cfa10789007bf4a5b935388a0bb2a8f (Handle backend state transitions in a more robust way) it should not be possible for xenvif_connect() to be called if the vif is already connected so change the check of vif->tx_irq to a BUG_ON() and also add a BUG_ON(vif->task).
