Commit a46b53672b2c2e3770b38a4abf90d16364d2584b ("xen/blkfront: cleanup
stale persistent grants") introduced a regression as purged persistent
grants were not pu into the list of free grants again. Correct that.

Sorry, I don't follow this. What is the purpose of removing the grant
from rinfo->grants list with list_del() and then adding it back with
list_add_tail()?

The persistent grants are at the list head and the non-persistent ones
at the tail.
