xen: Add compatibility aliases for frontend drivers

Linux kernel mirror (for testing) git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git

kernel os linux

Before getting merged, xen-blkfront was xenblk and
xen-netfront was xennet.

Temporarily adding compatibility module aliases
eases upgrades from older versions by e.g. allowing
mkinitrd to find the new version of the module.
