PATCH 1/1 kvm tool: Don't close not yet opened files and SIGSEV fix

In case if there error happened in kvm__init and we have no files opened -- we should not try to close them.

Also once kvm failed to init the caller should not try to dereference a pointer obtained, otherwise we might get SIGSEV

It should be IS_ERR rather (kvm__init never returns with NULL), but it's a candidate for another patch where both kvm__init and kvm__new should test for IS_ERR only.

Pekka, could you please s/IS_ERR_OR_NULL/IS_ERR/ in this patch, and that's all. Hm?

Strictly speaking, kvm__init need more serious rewrite together with kvm__arch_init/kvm_ipc__start/kvm_ipc__register_handler ret. vals tests, i'll do this a bit late.

Sorry for delay, was busy. Anyway, here is a quickfix for sigsev and close()s.
