info->nr_rings isn't adjusted in case of ENOMEM error from

Typical call stack involving panic -
  #8 page_fault at ffffffff8175936f
     [exception RIP: blkif_free_ring+33]
     RIP: ffffffffa0149491  RSP: ffff8804f7673c08  RFLAGS: 00010292
  ...
  #9 blkif_free at ffffffffa0149aaa [xen_blkfront]
  #10 talk_to_blkback at ffffffffa014c8cd [xen_blkfront]
  #11 blkback_changed at ffffffffa014ea8b [xen_blkfront]
  #12 xenbus_otherend_changed at ffffffff81424670
  #13 backend_changed at ffffffff81426dc3
  #14 xenwatch_thread at ffffffff81422f29
  #15 kthread at ffffffff810abe6a
  #16 ret_from_fork at ffffffff81754078

Though either of my changes avoid the panic, I included both the
changes. This issue got introduced with "7ed8ce1 xen-blkfront: move
negotiate_mq to cover all cases of new VBDs"

I don't see the point in the if case here, you already fixed it by
setting the nr_rings value which I think it's the correct way of
fixing it.

Thanks, Roger.
Thank you Roger for your comments.
I will exclude this change and send for review again.
