[PATCH] xen/gntdev: fix refcount leak in gntdev_ioctl_map_grant_ref()



When gntdev_ioctl_map_grant_ref() fails to copy the operation
result back to userspace after successfully adding the mapping to
the list, the error path returns -EFAULT without releasing the
reference acquired by gntdev_alloc_map(). The mapping remains in
priv->maps with a refcount of 1, causing a memory leak and a
dangling list entry.

Fix this by moving the copy_to_user() before gntdev_add_map(),
so that the mapping is only inserted into the list on success.
This avoids the need to remove the mapping from the list on error.
