Subject: [PATCH 4.16 037/279] xen: xenbus_dev_frontend: Really return response string

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

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

From: Simon Gaiser <simon@...isiblethingslab.com>

[ Upstream commit ebf04f331fa15a966262341a7dc6b1a0efd633e4 ]

xenbus_command_reply() did not actually copy the response string and
leaked stack content instead.

Fixes: 9a6161fe73bd ("xen: return xenstore command failures via response instead of rc")
