Subject: KVM: s390: floating irqs: fix user triggerable endless loop

From: David Hildenbrand <dahi@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

commit 8e2207cdd087ebb031e9118d1fd0902c6533a5e5 upstream.

If a vm with no VCPUs is created, the injection of a floating irq
leads to an endless loop in the kernel.

Let's skip the search for a destination VCPU for a floating irq if no
VCPUs were created.
