If kvm_arch_vcpu_create() fails to share the vCPU page with the
hypervisor, we propagate the error back to the ioctl but leave the
vGIC vCPU data initialised. Note only does this leak the corresponding
memory when the vCPU is destroyed but it can also lead to use-after-free
if the redistributor device handling tries to walk into the vCPU.

Add the missing cleanup to kvm_arch_vcpu_create(), ensuring that the
vGIC vCPU structures are destroyed on error.

It's hard to come up with a "Fixes:" tag for this. Prior to 3f868e142c0b
("KVM: arm64: Introduce kvm_share_hyp()"), create_hyp_mappings() could
still have failed, although if you go back before 66c57edd3bc7 ("KVM:
arm64: Restrict EL2 stage-1 changes in protected mode") then it's
vanishingly unlikely.
