This backport is bad. In kvm_setup_async_pf(), it removes a call to
kvm_get_kvm(). However, it does not remove the call to kvm_put_kvm()
in its error handler. Also see upstream commit 7863e346e108 ("KVM:
async_pf: Cleanup kvm_setup_async_pf()") which explains that one of
the error paths in kvm_setup_async_pf() which is not supposed to be
observed can be observed after all.
