So if the return value is to be used as a "real" dentry, it needs to be checked if it is an error before dereferencing it. This is now happening because of ff9fb72bc077 ("debugfs: return error values, not NULL"). syzbot has found a way to trigger multiple debugfs files attempting to be created, which fails, and then the error code gets passed to dentry_path_raw() which obviously does not like it.

In this case, vcpu->halt_poll_ns will be multiplied by grow factor (halt_poll_ns_grow) which will require several grow iteration in order to reach a value bigger than halt_poll_ns_grow_start. This means that growing vcpu->halt_poll_ns from value of 0 is slower than growing it from a positive value less than halt_poll_ns_grow_start. Which is misleading and inaccurate. Fix issue by changing grow_halt_poll_ns() to set vcpu->halt_poll_ns to halt_poll_ns_grow_start in any case that (vcpu->halt_poll_ns < halt_poll_ns_grow_start). Regardless if vcpu->halt_poll_ns is 0. use READ_ONCE to get a consistent number for all cases.
