Initialize debugfs_entry to its semi-magical -ENOENT value when the VM is created. KVM's teardown when VM creation fails is kludgy and calls kvm_uevent_notify_change() and kvm_destroy_vm_debugfs() even if KVM never attempted kvm_create_vm_debugfs(). Because debugfs_entry is zero initialized, the IS_ERR() checks pass and KVM derefs a NULL pointer.

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.
