KVM: let kvm_destroy_vm_debugfs clean up vCPU debugfs directories
After commit 63d0434 ("KVM: x86: move kvm_create_vcpu_debugfs after last failure point") we are creating the pre-vCPU debugfs files after the creation of the vCPU file descriptor. This makes it possible for userspace to reach kvm_vcpu_release before kvm_create_vcpu_debugfs has finished. The vcpu->debugfs_dentry then does not have any associated inode anymore, and this causes a NULL-pointer dereference in debugfs_create_file. The solution is simply to avoid removing the files; they are cleaned up when the VM file descriptor is closed (and that must be after KVM_CREATE_VCPU returns). We can stop storing the dentry in struct kvm_vcpu too, because it is not needed anywhere after kvm_create_vcpu_debugfs returns.
