You need to handle gnttab_grant_foreign_access() returning an error. For
ring->ref too.

(and maybe wrap the line above)

ring->ring? Maybe 'dataring' for the top-level structure?

BTW, do we really need 'bytes' member? It's always 'ring.in' AFAICT. You
could make it a union with 'ring' (the second 'ring' ;-)) if you want to
keep a pointer to the whole thing as a dedicated name.
