Subject: [PATCH 5.11 06/12] xen-blkback: dont "handle" error by BUG()

From: Jan Beulich <jbeulich@...e.com>

commit 5a264285ed1cd32e26d9de4f3c8c6855e467fd63 upstream.

In particular -ENOMEM may come back here, from set_foreign_p2m_mapping().
Don't make problems worse, the more that handling elsewhere (together
with map's status fields now indicating whether a mapping wasn't even
attempted, and hence has to be considered failed) doesn't require this
odd way of dealing with errors.

This is part of XSA-362.
