During teardown, accesses to memslots and buses are using rcu_dereference_protected with an always-true condition because these accesses are done outside the usual mutexes. This is because the last reference is gone and there cannot be any concurrent modifications, but rcu_dereference_protected is ugly and unobvious. Instead, check the refcount in kvm_get_bus and __kvm_memslots.
