Subject: xen/gntdev: Fix partial gntdev_mmap() cleanup

From: Ross Lagerwall <ross.lagerwall@xxxxxxxxxx>


[ Upstream commit cf2acf66ad43abb39735568f55e1f85f9844e990 ]

When cleaning up after a partially successful gntdev_mmap(), unmap the
successfully mapped grant pages otherwise Xen will kill the domain if
in debug mode (Attempt to implicitly unmap a granted PTE) or Linux will
kill the process and emit "BUG: Bad page map in process" if Xen is in
release mode.

This is only needed when use_ptemod is true because gntdev_put_map()
will unmap grant pages itself when use_ptemod is false.
