There's need for free vtd_mem more memory for guest with xen-unstable c/s 
17529. 
This memory is freed when guest is created, but is not freed when guest is
restored. So restore guest fails due to not enough of memory for guest.

Following patch uses same calculation of memory to free in guest restore as is
in guest creation.
