Subject: gnttab: fix GNTTABOP_copy continuation handling

The XSA-226 fix was flawed - the backwards transformation on rc was done
too early, causing a continuation to not get invoked when the need for
preemption was determined at the very first iteration of the request.
This in particular means that all of the status fields of the individual
operations would be left untouched, i.e. set to whatever the caller may
or may not have initialized them to.

This is part of XSA-318.
