info->nr_rings isn't adjusted in case of ENOMEM error from

Typical call stack involving panic -

Though either of my changes avoid the panic, I included both the
changes. This issue got introduced with "7ed8ce1 xen-blkfront: move
negotiate_mq to cover all cases of new VBDs"

I don't see the point in the if case here, you already fixed it by
setting the nr_rings value which I think it's the correct way of
fixing it.
Thanks, Roger.
Thank you Roger for your comments.
I will exclude this change and send for review again.
