Subject: [PATCH] KVM: arm64: Fix error path in init_hyp_mode()

In the unlikely case pKVM failed to allocate carveout, the error path
tries to access NULL ptr when it de-reference the SVE state from the
uninitialized nVHE per-cpu base.

It seems also in other cases, it can try to free NULL ptrs, so add the
proper NULL checks in teardown_hyp_mode(), we can skip the loop early
if any of the ptrs is NULL as the order of free matches the order of
initialization.

I initially observed this on 6.12, but I could also repro in master.
