Marek Marczykowski-Górecki 1d4bdaaa8d Revert "xen-netback: Check for hotplug-status existence before watching"
[ Upstream commit e8240addd0a3919e0fd7436416afe9aa6429c484 ]

This reverts commit 2afeec08ab5c86ae21952151f726bfe184f6b23d.

The reasoning in the commit was wrong - the code expected to setup the
watch even if 'hotplug-status' didn't exist. In fact, it relied on the
watch being fired the first time - to check if maybe 'hotplug-status' is
already set to 'connected'. Not registering a watch for non-existing
path (which is the case if hotplug script hasn't been executed yet),
made the backend not waiting for the hotplug script to execute. This in
turns, made the netfront think the interface is fully operational, while
in fact it was not (the vif interface on xen-netback side might not be
configured yet).

This was a workaround for 'hotplug-status' erroneously being removed.
But since that is reverted now, the workaround is not necessary either.

README

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.
