Subject: [PATCH][next] KVM: x86: Fix potential fput on a null source_kvm_file

From: Colin Ian King <colin.king@...onical.com>

The fget can potentially return null, so the fput on the error return
path can cause a null pointer dereference. Fix this by checking for
a null source_kvm_file before doing a fput.

Addresses-Coverity: ("Dereference null return")
Fixes: 54526d1fd593 ("KVM: x86: Support KVM VMs sharing SEV context")
