tools/xenstore: fix XSA-417 patch

The fix for XSA-417 had a bug: domain_alloc_permrefs() will not return
a negative value in case of an error, but a plain errno value.

Note this is not considered to be a security issue, as the only case
where domain_alloc_permrefs() will return an error is a failed memory
allocation. As a guest should not be able to drive Xenstore out of
memory, this is NOT a problem a guest can trigger at will.
