kvm: Fix crash due to access uninitialized kvm_state
Runs into core dump on arm64 and the backtrace extracted from the core dump is shown as below. It's caused by accessing uninitialized @kvm_state in kvm_flush_coalesced_mmio_buffer() due to commit 176d073029 ("hw/arm/virt: Use machine_memory_devices_init()"), where the machine's memory region is added earlier than before. main qemu_init configure_accelerators qemu_opts_foreach do_configure_accelerator accel_init_machine kvm_init virt_kvm_type virt_set_memmap machine_memory_devices_init memory_region_add_subregion memory_region_add_subregion_common memory_region_update_container_subregions memory_region_transaction_begin qemu_flush_coalesced_mmio_buffer kvm_flush_coalesced_mmio_buffer Fix it by bailing early in kvm_flush_coalesced_mmio_buffer() on the uninitialized @kvm_state. With this applied, no crash is observed on arm64.
