This is broken.

You have no warranty whatsoever that descriptor table has not been changed
by that point. You should *NEVER* use sys_close() on failure exit paths
like that. Moreover, this kvm_put_kvm() becomes a double-put, since
closing the damn file will drop that reference to kvm.

Please, revert. anon_inode_getfd() should be used only when there's no
possible failures past its call. What you need in this case (due to fucking
ugly API - decriptor number used as part of debugfs pathname) is something
like this (against mainline):
[kvm] don't use anon_inode_getfd() before possible failures
Once anon_inode_getfd() has succeeded, it's impossible to undo in a clean
way and no, sys_close() is not usable in such cases. Use anon_inode_getfile()
and get_unused_fd_flags() to get struct file and descriptor and do *not*
install the file into descriptor table until after the last possible failure
exit.
