Sure, this is just to test if the idea would work and needs a lot of
cleanup. Unfortunately it does not seem to help with the original
problem because this case is not executed on VM shutdown:

        case XenbusStateClosed:
                xen_blkif_disconnect(be->blkif);
                xen_vbd_free(&be->blkif->vbd);
                xenbus_switch_state(dev, XenbusStateClosed);

Instead xen_vbd_free gets run from a different code path after the
remove script has already failed:

[  337.407634] block drbd0: State change failed: Device is held open by someone
[  337.407673] block drbd0:   state = { cs:Connected ro:Primary/Secondary ds:UpToDate/UpToDate r----- }
[  337.407713] block drbd0:  wanted = { cs:Connected ro:Secondary/Secondary ds:UpToDate/UpToDate r----- }
