(this is actually a forward port of rev 1079 from 2.6.18.hg, untested because
kdump just hangs before (or while) entering the crash kernel in 3.0)

After triggering a crash dump in a HVM guest, the PV backend drivers
will remain in connected state. When the kdump kernel starts the PV
drivers will skip such devices. As a result, no root device is found and
the vmcore cant be saved.

With this change all frontend devices with state XenbusStateConnected
will be reset by changing the state file to Closing/Closed/Initializing.
This will trigger a disconnect in the backend drivers. Now the frontend
drivers will find the backend drivers in state Initwait and can connect.
