commit eed3013faa upstream.
Grab a reference to KVM prior to installing VM and vCPU stats file
descriptors to ensure the underlying VM and vCPU objects are not freed
until the last reference to any and all stats fds are dropped.
Note, the stats paths manually invoke fd_install() and so don't need to
grab a reference before creating the file.
Fixes: ce55c04945 ("KVM: stats: Support binary stats retrieval for a VCPU")
Fixes: fcfe1baedd ("KVM: stats: Support binary stats retrieval for a VM")
