Subject[PATCH 3.16 163/366] xen-netfront: fix locking in connect error path
3.16.61-rc1 review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: David Vrabel <david.vrabel@citrix.com>

commit db8c8ab61a28d7e3eb86d247b342a853263262c3 upstream.

If no queues could be created when connecting to the backend, one of the
error paths would deadlock.
