[PATCH 1/5] KVM: arm64: vgic: Free gic_kvm_info on initialization failure

vgic_set_kvm_info() allocates gic_kvm_info for use by
kvm_vgic_hyp_init(). When a maintenance interrupt is mandatory but not
provided, kvm_vgic_hyp_init() returns -ENXIO before reaching the
common cleanup path, leaking said allocation.
Route this error through that cleanup path so that gic_kvm_info is
freed and the global pointer is cleared.
Fixes: 0e5cb7770684 ("irqchip/gic: Split vGIC probing information from the GIC code")
