Barret reported a (technically benign) bug where nr_pages_avail can be
accessed without being initialized if gfn_to_hva_many() fails.
virt/kvm/kvm_main.c:2193:13: warning: 'nr_pages_avail' may be
used uninitialized in this function [-Wmaybe-uninitialized]
Rather than simply squashing the warning by initializing nr_pages_avail,
fix the underlying issues by reworking __kvm_gfn_to_hva_cache_init() to
return immediately instead of continuing on. Now that all callers check
the result and/or bail immediately on a bad hva, there's no need to
explicitly nullify the memslot on error.

README
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
