[PATCH] Input: xen-kbdfront - free grant table entry in xenkbd_disconnect_backend

From: Chang Huaixin <huaixin.chx@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

xenkbd_disconnect_backend doesn't free grant table entry.
This bug affects live migration.

xenkbd_disconnect_backend uses gnttab_end_foreign_access_ref
to handle grant table entry which doesn't really free an entry.

Thus every time we do xenkbd_resume, grant table entry increses
by one. As an grant table entry occupies 8 bytes, an grant table
page has at most 512 entries. Every 512 times we do xenkdb_resume,
grant table pages increses by one.

After around 3500 times of live migration, grant table pages
will increase by 7, causing too many pages to populate and hitting
max_pages limit when assigning pages.Thus assign_pages will fail,
so will live migration.
