Subject[PATCH] kvm: Prevent kvm_init from corrupting debugfs structures
I'm seeing an oops condition when kvm-intel and kvm-amd are modprobe'd
during boot (say on an Intel system) and then rmmod'd:

# modprobe kvm-intel
kvm_init()
kvm_init_debug()
kvm_arch_init() <-- stores debugfs dentries internally
(success, etc)

# modprobe kvm-amd
kvm_init()
kvm_init_debug() <-- second initialization clobbers kvm's
internal pointers to dentries
kvm_arch_init()
kvm_exit_debug() <-- and frees them

# rmmod kvm-intel
kvm_exit()
kvm_exit_debug() <-- double free of debugfs files!

*BOOM*

If execution gets to the end of kvm_init(), then the calling module has been
established as the kvm provider. Move the debugfs initialization to the end of
the function, and remove the now-unnecessary call to kvm_exit_debug() from the
error path. That way we avoid trampling on the debugfs entries and freeing
them twice.
