Subject: [PATCH 4.18 041/168] tools/kvm_stat: fix handling of invalid paths in debugfs provider

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

[ Upstream commit 617c66b9f236d20f11cecbb3f45e6d5675b2fae1 ]

When filtering by guest, kvm_stat displays garbage when the guest is
destroyed - see sample output below.
We add code to remove the invalid paths from the providers, so at least
no more garbage is displayed.
Here's a sample output to illustrate:

  kvm statistics - pid 13986 (foo)
