Bug Description
SRU Justification:
Impact: This only affects the xen custom kernel. When applying patches to fix CVE-2010-4247, a follow-up patch was missed that would fix a potention leak. This will only happen in the error case when the loop is prematurely ended.
Fix: Patch taken from Xen repository.
Testcase: none, found by code review and not sure how to trigger the error case the first place.
