KVM: fix rcu warning on VM_CREATE errors

commit 3898da947bba ("KVM: avoid using rcu_dereference_protected") can
trigger the following lockdep/rcu splat if the VM_CREATE ioctl fails,
for example if kvm_arch_init_vm fails:

WARNING: suspicious RCU usage

-----------------------------
./include/linux/kvm_host.h:481 suspicious rcu_dereference_check() usage!
