Subject: [PATCH 4.4 313/342] xen/scsiback: correct frontend counting

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

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

From: Juergen Gross <jgross@...e.com>

commit f285aa8db7cc4432c1a03f8b55ff34fe96317c11 upstream.

When adding a new frontend to xen-scsiback don't decrement the number
of active frontends in case of no error. Doing so results in a failure
when trying to remove the xen-pvscsi nexus even if no domain is using
it.
