Make st_* statistics per ring and the VBD sysfs would iterate over all the

Note: xenvbd_sysfs_delif() is called in xen_blkbk_remove() before all rings

This patch was based on konrad/xen.git/for-jens-4.5.

Preparatory patch for multiple hardware queues (rings). The number of
rings is unconditionally set to 1, larger number will be enabled in next
patch("xen/blkfront: negotiate number of queues/rings to be used with backend")
so as to make every single patch small and readable.
