References: CVE-2012-5510 XSA-26 bnc#789945 gnttab: fix releasing of memory upon switches between versions gnttab_unpopulate_status_frames() incompletely freed the pages previously used as status frame in that they did not get removed from the domain's xenpage_list, thus causing subsequent list corruption when those pages did get allocated again for the same or another purpose. Similarly, grant_table_create() and gnttab_grow_table() both improperly clean up in the event of an error - pages already shared with the guest can't be freed by just passing them to free_xenheap_page(). Fix this by sharing the pages only after all allocations succeeded. This is CVE-2012-5510 / XSA-26.
