KVM: Initialize debugfs_dentry when a VM is created to avoid NULL deref

Initialize debugfs_entry to its semi-magical -ENOENT value when the VM
is created.  KVM's teardown when VM creation fails is kludgy and calls
kvm_uevent_notify_change() and kvm_destroy_vm_debugfs() even if KVM never
attempted kvm_create_vm_debugfs().  Because debugfs_entry is zero
initialized, the IS_ERR() checks pass and KVM derefs a NULL pointer.
