Subject: [PATCH 3.19.y-ckt 006/102] kvm: x86: fix kvm_apic_has_events to check for NULL pointer

3.19.8-ckt3 -stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Paolo Bonzini <pbonzini@...hat.com>

commit ce40cd3fc7fa40a6119e5fe6c0f2bc0eb4541009 upstream.

Malicious (or egregiously buggy) userspace can trigger it, but it
should never happen in normal operation.
