6.1-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Yuho Choi <redacted>

[ Upstream commit d330fb86a7170f845123ae82d95df440fad9b707 ]

xs_init() registers xs_reboot_nb before initializing XenStore
communications and starting xenwatch. If either operation fails, the
notifier remains registered and a later initialization attempt can hit a
duplicate registration.

Check the notifier registration result and unregister it on every
subsequent failure path.

Fixes: fd8aa9095a95 ("xen: optimize xenbus driver for multiple concurrent xenstore accesses")
