evtchn: evtchn_bind_virq() error path unconditionally calls domain_deinit_states()

There is a corner case in the error path of evtchn_bind_virq() (handling
EVTCHNOP_bind_virq hypercall) which allows unprivileged domains to
interfere with privileged ones: If an unprivileged domain allocates all
available ports to reach "no more ports available" and then issues an
EVTCHNOP_bind_virq hypercall to bind any allowed VIRQ (e.g. VIRQ_DEBUG),
domain_deinit_states() will be called despite not having called
domain_init_states().

To fix the issue move domain_deinit_states(d) under the same condition as
used for the domain_init_states() call.

This is CVE-2026-42492 / XSA-496.
