KVM: s390: Fix unlikely NULL gmap dereference
When creating a new vCPU, kvm_vm_ioctl_create_vcpu() will call
kvm_arch_vcpu_postcreate() after the file descriptor for the new vCPU
has been created. The new file descriptor has not been returned yet,
but a malicious userspace program could try to guess it.
If a malicious userspace program manages to start the newly created vCPU
before kvm_arch_vcpu_postcreate() is called, __vcpu_run() will try to
dereference vcpu->arch.gmap and trigger a NULL pointer dereference.
Fix this by adding a new field to struct kvm_vcpu_arch to keep track of
the initialization status of the vCPU. Refuse to run a vCPU that is not
fully initialized.
Fixes: dafd032a15f8 ("KVM: s390: move vcpu specific initalization to a later point")
Fixes: e38c884df921 ("KVM: s390: Switch to new gmap")
