Subject: [PATCH MANUALSEL 5.14 1/5] KVM: X86: fix lazy allocation of rmaps

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

[ Upstream commit fa13843d1565d4c5b3aeb9be3343b313416bef46 ]

If allocation of rmaps fails, but some of the pointers have already been written,
those pointers can be cleaned up when the memslot is freed, or even reused later
for another attempt at allocating the rmaps.  Therefore there is no need to
WARN, as done for example in memslot_rmap_alloc, but the allocation *must* be
skipped lest KVM will overwrite the previous pointer and will indeed leak memory.
