xen-netback: fix a BUG() during initialization
Commit edafc132 ("xen-netback: making the bandwidth limiter runtime settable") introduced the capability to change the bandwidth rate limit at runtime. But it also introduced a possible crashing bug. If netback receives two XenbusStateConnected without getting the hotplug-status watch firing in between, then it will try to register the watches for the rate limiter again. But this triggers a BUG() in the watch registration code. The fix modifies connect() to remove the possibly existing packet-rate watches before trying to install those watches. This behaviour is in line with how connect() deals with the hotplug-status watch.
