[GIT PULL v1 23/23] KVM: s390: Fix cleanup in kvm_s390_pv_create_cpu()

If creating a protected vCPU in kvm_s390_pv_create_cpu() fails,
kvm_s390_pv_destroy_cpu() was called, which checks whether the vCPU has
a PV handle and exits doing nothing otherwise. At that point, due to
not having created the protected vCPU, the PV handle will not be set,
and kvm_s390_pv_destroy_cpu() will do nothing, thus leaking the
allocated memory.

Fix by factoring out the code to free and reset a PV vCPU; call it from
kvm_s390_pv_destroy_cpu() and kvm_s390_pv_create_cpu().

Opportunistically fix the return value of kvm_s390_pv_destroy_cpu() in
case of errors: return -EIO instead if EIO.
