    xen/common: event_channel: Don't ignore error in get_free_port()
    
    Currently, get_free_port() is assuming that the port has been allocated
    when evtchn_allocate_port() is not return -EBUSY.
    
    However, the function may return an error when:
        - We exhausted all the event channels. This can happen if the limit
        configured by the administrator for the guest ('max_event_channels'
        in xl cfg) is higher than the ABI used by the guest. For instance,
        if the guest is using 2L, the limit should not be higher than 4095.
        - We cannot allocate memory (e.g Xen has not more memory).
    
    Users of get_free_port() (such as EVTCHNOP_alloc_unbound) will validly
    assuming the port was valid and will next call evtchn_from_port(). This
    will result to a crash as the memory backing the event channel structure
    is not present.

DomU")
