Subject: [PATCH] KVM: arm/arm64: Fix KVM_VGIC_V3_ADDR_TYPE_REDIST read

When reading the base address of the a REDIST region through KVM_VGIC_V3_ADDR_TYPE_REDIST we expect the redistributor region list to be populated with a single element.

However list_first_entry() expects the list to be non empty. Instead we should use list_first_entry_or_null which effectively returns NULL if the list is empty.

Fixes dbd9733ab674 ("KVM: arm/arm64: Replace the single rdist region by a list")
