xen-netback: correctly return errors from netbk_count_requests()
[ Upstream commit 35876b5ffc154c357476b2c3bdab10feaf4bd8f0 ] netbk_count_requests() could detect an error, call netbk_fatal_tx_error() but return 0. The vif may then be used afterwards (e.g., in a call to netbk_tx_error(). Since netbk_fatal_tx_error() could set vif->refcnt to 1, the vif may be freed immediately after the call to netbk_fatal_tx_error() (e.g., if the vif is also removed).
