mshv: fix fd leak in mshv_ioctl_create_vtl()

This commit addresses a file descriptor leak in mshv_ioctl_create_vtl().
It ensures put_unused_fd() is called when anon_inode_getfile() fails,
freeing the allocated file descriptor before returning an error.

[Severity: Critical]
This is a pre-existing issue, but while reviewing this file I noticed an
insufficient bounds check in the mmap fault handler.

Does this missing validation allow an out-of-bounds pointer arithmetic
regression?

drivers/hv/mshv_vtl_main.c:mshv_vtl_fault() {
	struct page *page;
	int cpu = vmf->pgoff & MSHV_PG_OFF_CPU_MASK;
	int real_off = vmf->pgoff >> MSHV_REAL_OFF_SHIFT;

	if (!cpu_online(cpu))
		return VM_FAULT_SIGBUS;

A VMA with a large offset can cause vmf->pgoff to yield an arbitrary
cpu index. The only validation is cpu_online(cpu), which uses an
unbounds-checked test_bit() against cpu_online_mask.

If the out-of-bounds read hits a set bit, the check passes. Execution then
proceeds to mshv_vtl_cpu_run(cpu), calling per_cpu_ptr() which reads from
the __per_cpu_offset array out-of-bounds. 

The resulting garbage pointer is passed to virt_to_page(), and get_page()
incorrectly increments a reference count, potentially mapping arbitrary
physical memory into userspace.

Should this code check the cpu index against nr_cpu_ids before passing it
to cpu_online()?
