Ben Cressey a320c05b82 minios: fix xenbus_rm() calls in frontend drivers ...

The commit "minios: refactor xenbus state machine" caused "/state" to
be appended to the local value of nodename. Previously the nodename
variable pointed to dev->nodename.

The xenbus_rm() calls were not updated to reflect this change, and
refer to paths that do not exist.

For example, shutdown_blkfront() for vbd 2049 would issue these calls:
    xenbus_rm(XBT_NIL, "device/vbd/2049/state/ring-ref");
    xenbus_rm(XBT_NIL, "device/vbd/2049/state/event-channel");

This patch restores the previous behavior, issuing these calls
instead:
    xenbus_rm(XBT_NIL, "device/vbd/2049/ring-ref");
    xenbus_rm(XBT_NIL, "device/vbd/2049/event-channel");

This causes frontend drivers to not be properly reset when PV-GRUB
exists. Some PV Linux drivers fail to re-initialize frontend devices
if PV-GRUB leaves them in this state.
