    xen/grant-table: Only decrement the refcounter when grant is fully unmapped
    
    The grant unmapping hypercall (GNTTABOP_unmap_grant_ref) is not a
    simple revert of the changes done by the grant mapping hypercall
    (GNTTABOP_map_grant_ref).
    
    Instead, it is possible to partially (or even not) clear some flags.
    This will leave the grant is mapped until a future call where all
    the flags would be cleared.
    
    XSA-380 introduced a refcounting that is meant to only be dropped
    when the grant is fully unmapped. Unfortunately, unmap_common() will
    decrement the refcount for every successful call.
    
    A consequence is a domain would be able to underflow the refcount
    and trigger a BUG().
    
    Looking at the code, it is not clear to me why a domain would
    want to partially clear some flags in the grant-table. But as
    this is part of the ABI, it is better to not change the behavior
    for now.
    
    Fix it by checking if the maptrack handle has been released before
    decrementing the refcounting.
    
    This is CVE-2022-23034 / XSA-394.
