[PATCH] xen-netfront: Improve error handling during initialization

[Ross Lagerwall]

Improve error handling during initialization. This fixes a crash when
running out of grant refs when creating many queues across many netdevs.

* Delay timer creation so that if initializing a queue fails, the timer
has not been setup yet.
* If creating queues fails (i.e. there are no grant refs available),
call xenbus_dev_fatal() to ensure that the xenbus device is set to the
closed state.
* If no queues are created, don't call xennet_disconnect_backend as
netdev->real_num_tx_queues will not have been set correctly.
* If setup_netfront() fails, ensure that all the queues created are
cleaned up, not just those that have been set up.
* If any queues were set up and an error occurs, call
xennet_destroy_queues() to stop the timer and clean up the napi context.
* If any fatal error occurs, unregister and destroy the netdev to avoid
leaving around a half setup network device.
