[RFC PATCH kernel] KVM: Stop leaking memory in debugfs

[Alexey Kardashevskiy]

The debugfs folder name is made of a supposedly unique pair of
the process pid and a VM fd. However it is possible to get a race here
which manifests in these messages:

[  471.846235] debugfs: Directory '20245-4' with parent 'kvm' already present!

debugfs_create_dir() returns an error which is handled correctly
everywhere except kvm_create_vm_debugfs() where the code allocates
stat data structs and overwrites the older values regardless.

Spotted by syzkaller. This slow memory leak produces way too many
OOM reports.

I am pretty sure we better fix the race but I am not quite sure what
lock is appropriate here, ideas?
