In vhost_vdpa_set_config_call() if eventfd_ctx_fdget() fails the 'v->config_ctx' contains an error instead of a valid pointer. Since we consider 'v->config_ctx' valid if it is not NULL, we should set it to NULL in this case to avoid to use an invalid pointer in other functions such as vhost_vdpa_config_put().
