Subject: [ 21/59] macvtap: fix recovery from gup errors

3.4-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

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

From: "Michael S. Tsirkin" <mst@...hat.com>

[ Upstream commit 4c7ab054ab4f5d63625508ed6f8a607184cae7c2 ]

get user pages might fail partially in macvtap zero copy
mode. To recover we need to put all pages that we got,
but code used a wrong index resulting in double-free
errors.
