Subject: [PATCH v3] vfio: Fix uninitialized symbol and potential dereferencing errors in vfio_combine_iova_ranges

when compiling with smatch check, the following errors were encountered:

drivers/vfio/vfio_main.c:957 vfio_combine_iova_ranges() error: uninitialized symbol 'last'.
drivers/vfio/vfio_main.c:978 vfio_combine_iova_ranges() error: potentially dereferencing uninitialized 'comb_end'.
drivers/vfio/vfio_main.c:978 vfio_combine_iova_ranges() error: potentially dereferencing uninitialized 'comb_start'.

This patch initializes the variables last, comb_end, and comb_start
to avoid compiler warnings and add proper argument checks to ensure
interval_tree_iter_first() does not return NULL.
