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.
