[Xen-devel] [PATCH v2] xen-netfront: Improve error handling during initialization



This fixes a crash when running out of grant refs when creating many
queues across many netdevs.

* If creating queues fails (i.e. there are no grant refs available),
call xenbus_dev_fatal() to ensure that the xenbus device is set to the
closed state.
* If no queues are created, don't call xennet_disconnect_backend as
netdev->real_num_tx_queues will not have been set correctly.
* If setup_netfront() fails, ensure that all the queues created are
cleaned up, not just those that have been set up.
* If any queues were set up and an error occurs, call
xennet_destroy_queues() to clean up the napi context.
* If any fatal error occurs, unregister and destroy the netdev to avoid
leaving around a half setup network device.

Changed in V2:
* Retested on top of v4.10-rc7 + "xen-netfront: Delete rx_refill_timer
  in xennet_disconnect_backend()".
* Don't move setup_timer as it is not necessary.
