SubjectRe: [PATCH] xen/blkback: prevent repeated backend_changed invocations

So I decided to make an attempt myself, retaining the current
behavior of allowing multiple calls, yet not having to sprinkle
around multiple kfree()-s for be->mode. Slightly re-structuring
the function made this pretty strait forward.
