3.8.13.19 -stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: David Vrabel <david.vrabel at citrix.com>

commit 3661371701e714f0cea4120f6a365340858fb4e4 upstream.

Backend drivers shouldn't transistion to CLOSED unless the frontend is
CLOSED.  If a backend does transition to CLOSED too soon then the
frontend may not see the CLOSING state and will not properly shutdown.

So, treat an unexpected backend CLOSED state the same as CLOSING.
