+x86: fix page refcount handling in page table pin error path
+
+In the original patch 7 of the series addressing XSA-45 I mistakenly
+took the addition of the call to get_page_light() in alloc_page_type()
+to cover two decrements that would happen: One for the PGT_partial bit
+that is getting set along with the call, and the other for the page
+reference the caller hold (and would be dropping on its error path).
+But of course the additional page reference is tied to the PGT_partial
+bit, and hence any caller of a function that may leave
+->arch.old_guest_table non-NULL for error cleanup purposes has to make
+sure a respective page reference gets retained.
+
+Similar issues were then also spotted elsewhere: In effect all callers
+of get_page_type_preemptible() need to deal with errors in similar
+ways. To make sure error handling can work this way without leaking
+page references, a respective assertion gets added to that function.
+
+This is CVE-2013-1432 / XSA-58.
