If userspace creates and destroys multiple VMs within the same process
we leak 20k of memory in the userspace process context per VM.  This
patch frees the memory in kvm_arch_destroy_vm.  If the process exits
without closing the VM file descriptor or the file descriptor has been
shared with another process then we don't need to free the memory.
