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.
