KVM: Properly unwind VM creation if creating debugfs fails
Properly unwind VM creation if kvm_create_vm_debugfs() fails. A recent change to invoke kvm_create_vm_debug() in kvm_create_vm() was led astray by buggy try_get_module() handling adding by commit 5f6de5cb ("KVM: Prevent module exit until all VMs are freed"). The debugfs error path effectively inherits the bad error path of try_module_get(), e.g. KVM leaves the to-be-free VM on vm_list even though KVM appears to do the right thing by calling module_put() and falling through. Opportunistically hoist kvm_create_vm_debugfs() above the call to kvm_arch_post_init_vm() so that the "post-init" arch hook is actually invoked after the VM is initialized (ignoring kvm_coalesced_mmio_init() for the moment). x86 is the only non-nop implementation of the post-init hook, and it doesn't allocate/initialize any objects that are reachable via debugfs code (spawns a kthread worker for the NX huge page mitigation). Leave the buggy try_get_module() alone for now, it will be fixed in a separate commit.
