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 5f6de5cbebee ("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.
