[PATCH] xen/gnttab: fix gnttab_acquire_resource()



Commit 9dc46386d89d ("gnttab: work around "may be used uninitialized"
warning") was wrong, as vaddr can legitimately be NULL in case
XENMEM_resource_grant_table_id_status was specified for a grant table
v1. This would result in crashes in debug builds due to
ASSERT_UNREACHABLE() triggering.

Basically revert said commit, but keep returning -ENODATA in that case.

Fixes: 9dc46386d89d ("gnttab: work around "may be used uninitialized" warning")

Might be considered for 4.17 and for backporting
