Subject: [PATCH] xen/pvcalls: fix null pointer dereference on map->sock

From: Colin Ian King <colin.king@...onical.com>

Currently if map is null then a potential null pointer deference
occurs when calling sock_release on map->sock.  I believe the
actual intention was to call sock_release on sock instead. Fix
this.
