[PATCH] xen/blkback: fix memory leaks

[Wenwen Wang]

In read_per_ring_refs(), after 'req' and related memory regions are
allocated, xen_blkif_map() is invoked to map the shared frame, irq, and
etc. However, if this mapping process fails, no cleanup is performed,
leading to memory leaks. To fix this issue, invoke the cleanup before
returning the error.

You could also move the xen_blkif_map cal before the allocation loop,
since there's nothing in xen_blkif_map that uses the memory allocated
AFAICT, but I'm fine either way.
