Subject: [PATCH 5.7 381/393] xen/balloon: fix accounting in alloc_xenballooned_pages error path

From: Roger Pau Monne <roger.pau@...rix.com>

commit 1951fa33ec259abdf3497bfee7b63e7ddbb1a394 upstream.

target_unpopulated is incremented with nr_pages at the start of the
function, but the call to free_xenballooned_pages will only subtract
pgno number of pages, and thus the rest need to be subtracted before
returning or else accounting will be skewed.
