Subject: [PATCH 4.2.y-ckt 129/273] xen/scsiback: correct frontend counting

4.2.8-ckt5 -stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

---8<------------------------------------------------------------

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.
