Subject: xen-netback: Fix handling frag_list on grant op error path

From: Zoltan Kiss <zoltan.kiss@xxxxxxxxxx>

[ Upstream commit 1a998d3e6bc1e44f4c0bc7509bdedef8ed3845ec ]

The error handling for skb's with frag_list was completely wrong, it caused
double unmap attempts to happen if the error was on the first skb. Move it to
the right place in the loop.
