xen-blkfront: Advertise feature-persistent as user requested

The advertisement of the persistent grants feature (writing
'feature-persistent' to xenbus) should mean not the decision for using
the feature but only the availability of the feature.  However, commit
74a852479c68 ("xen-blkfront: add a parameter for disabling of persistent
grants") made a field of blkfront, which was a place for saving only the
negotiation result, to be used for yet another purpose: caching of the
'feature_persistent' parameter value.  As a result, the advertisement,
which should follow only the parameter value, becomes inconsistent.

This commit fixes the misuse of the semantic by making blkfront saves
the parameter value in a separate place and advertises the support based
on only the saved value.
