We must not skip the transaction_end() call for a failed XS_TRANSACTION_START. The removed code fragment got introduced by commit 027bd7e899 ("xen/xenbus: Avoid synchronous wait on XenBus stalling shutdown/restart") without its description really indicating why it was added (and hence I can't identify whether a more complex change might be needed here).
