Oliver Upton a44a4cc1c9 KVM: Don't create VM debugfs files outside of the VM directory
Unfortunately, there is no guarantee that KVM was able to instantiate a
debugfs directory for a particular VM. To that end, KVM shouldn't even
attempt to create new debugfs files in this case. If the specified
parent dentry is NULL, debugfs_create_file() will instantiate files at
the root of debugfs.

For arm64, it is possible to create the vgic-state file outside of a
VM directory, the file is not cleaned up when a VM is destroyed.
Nonetheless, the corresponding struct kvm is freed when the VM is
destroyed.

Nip the problem in the bud for all possible errant debugfs file
creations by initializing kvm->debugfs_dentry to -ENOENT. In so doing,
debugfs_create_file() will fail instead of creating the file in the root
directory.
