We used to the plug/unplug on the submit_bio. But that means
if within a stream of WRITE, WRITE, WRITE,...,WRITE we have
one READ, it could stall the pipeline (as the 'submio_bio'
could trigger the unplug_fnc to be called and stall/sync
when doing the READ). Instead we want to move the unplugging
when the whole (or as a much as possible) ring buffer has been
processed. This also eliminates us doing plug/unplug for
each request.

And also shorten the name if it has blkback to blkbk.
This results in the symbol table (if compiled in the kernel)
to be much shorter, prettier, and also easier to search for.

Daniel Stodden suggested to eliminate vbd.c and interface.c, inlining the
critical bits where they belong, respectively.
Leaving only blkback.c for the data- and xenbus.c for the control path.
