xen-blkback: workaround compiler bug in gcc 4.1

The code generat with gcc (GCC) 4.1.2 20080704 (Red Hat 4.1.2-54)
creates an unbound loop for the second foreach_grant_safe loop in
purge_persistent_gnt.

The workaround is to avoid having this second loop and instead
perform all the work inside the first loop by adding a new variable,
clean_used, that will be set when all the desired persistent grants
have been removed and we need to iterate over the remaining ones to
remove the WAS_ACTIVE flag.
