Subject: [PATCH 5.4 130/232] KVM: x86: Gracefully handle __vmalloc() failure during VM allocation

From: Sean Christopherson <sean.j.christopherson@...el.com>

commit d18b2f43b9147c8005ae0844fb445d8cc6a87e31 upstream.

Check the result of __vmalloc() to avoid dereferencing a NULL pointer in
the event that allocation failres.

Fixes: d1e5b0e98ea27 ("kvm: Make VM ioctl do valloc for some archs")
