3.16.78-rc1 review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

From: Juergen Gross jgross@suse.com
commit 50f6393f9654c561df4cdcf8e6cfba7260143601 upstream.
The condition in xen_swiotlb_free_coherent() for deciding whether to call xen_destroy_contiguous_region() is wrong: in case the region to be freed is not contiguous calling xen_destroy_contiguous_region() is the wrong thing to do: it would result in inconsistent mappings of multiple PFNs to the same MFN. This will lead to various strange crashes or data corruption.
Instead of calling xen_destroy_contiguous_region() in that case a warning should be issued as that situation should never occur.
