    tools/xenstore: fix XSA-417 patch
    
    The fix for XSA-417 had a bug: domain_alloc_permrefs() will not return
    a negative value in case of an error, but a plain errno value.
    
    Note this is not considered to be a security issue, as the only case
    where domain_alloc_permrefs() will return an error is a failed memory
    allocation. As a guest should not be able to drive Xenstore out of
    memory, this is NOT a problem a guest can trigger at will.
