RISC-V: KVM: Fix null pointer dereference in kvm_riscv_vcpu_aia_rmw_topei()
kvm_riscv_vcpu_aia_rmw_topei() assumes that the per-vCPU IMSIC state has
been initialized once AIA is reported as available and initialized at
the VM level. This assumption does not always hold.
Under fuzzed ioctl sequences, a guest may access the IMSIC TOPEI CSR
before the vCPU IMSIC state is set up. In this case,
vcpu->arch.aia_context.imsic_state is still NULL, and the TOPEI RMW path
dereferences it unconditionally, leading to a host kernel crash.
The crash manifests as:
Unable to handle kernel paging request at virtual address
dfffffff0000000e
...
kvm_riscv_vcpu_aia_imsic_rmw arch/riscv/kvm/aia_imsic.c:909
kvm_riscv_vcpu_aia_rmw_topei arch/riscv/kvm/aia.c:231
csr_insn arch/riscv/kvm/vcpu_insn.c:208
system_opcode_insn arch/riscv/kvm/vcpu_insn.c:281
kvm_riscv_vcpu_virtual_insn arch/riscv/kvm/vcpu_insn.c:355
kvm_riscv_vcpu_exit arch/riscv/kvm/vcpu_exit.c:230
kvm_arch_vcpu_ioctl_run arch/riscv/kvm/vcpu.c:1008
...
Fix this by explicitly checking whether the vCPU IMSIC state has been
initialized before handling TOPEI CSR accesses. If not, forward the CSR
emulation to user space.
