Subject: xen/gnttab: Fix error path in map_grant_ref()

Part of XSA-295 (c/s 863e74eb2cffb) inadvertently re-positioned the brackets,
changing the logic.  If the _set_status() call fails, the grant_map hypercall
would fail with a status of 1 (rc != GNTST_okay) instead of the expected
negative GNTST_* error.

This error path can be taken due to bad guest state, and causes net/blk-back
in Linux to crash.

This is XSA-316.
