Subject: xen-blkfront: use a right index when checking requests

From: Munehisa Kamata <kamatam@amazon.com>

commit b15bd8cb37598afb2963f7eb9e2de468d2d60a2f upstream.

Since commit d05d7f40791c ("Merge branch 'for-4.8/core' of
git://git.kernel.dk/linux-block") and 3fc9d690936f ("Merge branch
'for-4.8/drivers' of git://git.kernel.dk/linux-block"), blkfront_resume()
has been using an index for iterating ring_info to check request when
iterating blk_shadow in an inner loop. This seems to have been
accidentally introduced during the massive rewrite of the block layer
macros in the commits.

This may cause crash like this:

Use the right index in the inner loop.
