[ 43/53] xen-netback: correctly return errors from netbk_count_requests()

[Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>]

3.0-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------


From: David Vrabel <david.vrabel@citrix.com>

[ Upstream commit 35876b5ffc154c357476b2c3bdab10feaf4bd8f0 ]

netbk_count_requests() could detect an error, call
netbk_fatal_tx_error() but return 0.  The vif may then be used
afterwards (e.g., in a call to netbk_tx_error().

Since netbk_fatal_tx_error() could set vif->refcnt to 1, the vif may
be freed immediately after the call to netbk_fatal_tx_error() (e.g.,
if the vif is also removed).

                                free_netdev()
netbk_tx_err() Oops!
