commit eed3013faa401aae662398709410a59bb0646e32 upstream.
Grab a reference to KVM prior to installing VM and vCPU stats file
descriptors to ensure the underlying VM and vCPU objects are not freed
until the last reference to any and all stats fds are dropped.
Note, the stats paths manually invoke fd_install() and so don't need to
grab a reference before creating the file.

Fixes: fcfe1baeddbf ("KVM: stats: Support binary stats retrieval for a VM")

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
