[PATCH] kvm: properly check debugfs dentry before using it

[Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>]

debugfs can now report an error code if something went wrong instead of
just NULL.  So if the return value is to be used as a "real" dentry, it
needs to be checked if it is an error before dereferencing it.

This is now happening because of ff9fb72bc077 ("debugfs: return error
values, not NULL").  syzbot has found a way to trigger multiple debugfs
files attempting to be created, which fails, and then the error code
gets passed to dentry_path_raw() which obviously does not like it.

Paolo, this should be merged into 5.0-final, and if not there, then
5.1-rc1 and then backported to 5.0 through the stable tree.  If you
want me to send this to Linus, I will be glad to do so.
