[PATCH tip] KVM: nSVM: avoid freeing uninitialized pointers in svm_set_nested_state()

From: Vitaly Kuznetsov
Date: Mon Sep 14 2020 - 09:46:37 EST


The save and ctl pointers are passed uninitialized to kfree() when
svm_set_nested_state() follows the 'goto out_set_gif' path. While
the issue could've been fixed by initializing these on-stack varialbles
to NULL, it seems preferable to eliminate 'out_set_gif' label completely
as it is not actually a failure path and duplicating a single svm_set_gif()
call doesn't look too bad.

Fixes: 6ccbd29ade0d ("KVM: SVM: nested: Don't allocate VMCB structures on stack")
Addresses-Coverity: ("Uninitialized pointer read")
