KVM: Initialize debugfs_dentry when a VM is created to avoid NULL deref
Initialize debugfs_entry to its semi-magical -ENOENT value when the VM is created. KVM's teardown when VM creation fails is kludgy and calls kvm_uevent_notify_change() and kvm_destroy_vm_debugfs() even if KVM never attempted kvm_create_vm_debugfs(). Because debugfs_entry is zero initialized, the IS_ERR() checks pass and KVM derefs a NULL pointer.
