Alexey Kardashevskiy 716cb11608 KVM: PPC: Book3S: Improve KVM reference counting
The anon fd's ops releases the KVM reference in the release hook.
However we reference the KVM object after we create the fd so there is
small window when the release function can be called and
dereferenced the KVM object which potentially may free it.

It is not a problem at the moment as the file is created and KVM is
referenced under the KVM lock and the release function obtains the same
lock before dereferencing the KVM (although the lock is not held when
calling kvm_put_kvm()) but it is potentially fragile against future changes.

This references the KVM object before creating a file.

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.
