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, commitaac8a70db2("xen-blkback: add a parameter for disabling of persistent grants") made a field of blkback, 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 blkback saves the parameter value in a separate place and advertises the support based on only the saved value.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
