Subject: xen-netback: Fix releasing header slot on error path
From: Zoltan Kiss <zoltan.kiss@xxxxxxxxxx>
[ Upstream commit 1b860da0404a76af8533099ffe0a965490939369 ]
This patch makes this function aware that the first frag and the header might
share the same ring slot. That could happen if the first slot is bigger than
PKT_PROT_LEN. Due to this the error path might release that slot twice or never,
depending on the error scenario.
xenvif_idx_release is also removed from xenvif_idx_unmap, and called separately.
