It seems pointless to introduce another label and another loop to fix
something that can be fixed with a single label and a single loop,
this just makes the code more complex for no reason.

IMHO the way to solve this issue is:

while (nvec--) {
	if (nvec >= i)
		xen_free_irq(irq + nvec);
	else
		__unbind_from_irq(irq + nvec);
}
