    KVM: Prevent kvm_init from corrupting debugfs structures · 6fa5a4d4

    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.
