A patch similar to commit 5593473a1e6c ("KVM: avoid NULL pointer
dereference in kvm_dirty_ring_push").
If kvm_get_vcpu_by_id() or xa_insert() failed, kvm_vm_ioctl_create_vcpu()
will call kvm_dirty_ring_free(), freeing ring->dirty_gfns and setting it
to NULL. Then, it calls kvm_arch_vcpu_destroy(), which may call
kvm_dirty_ring_push() in specific call stack under the same conditions as
previous commit said. Finally, kvm_dirty_ring_push() will use
ring->dirty_gfns, leading to a NULL pointer dereference.
