Add a new helper, kvm_put_kvm_no_destroy(), to handle putting a borrowed
reference[*] to the VM when installing a new file descriptor fails. KVM
expects the refcount to remain valid in this case, as the in-progress
ioctl() has an explicit reference to the VM. The primary motiviation
for the helper is to document that the 'kvm' pointer is still valid
after putting the borrowed reference, e.g. to document that doing
mutex(&kvm->lock) immediately after putting a ref to kvm isn't broken.
[*] When exposing a new object to userspace via a file descriptor, e.g.
a new vcpu, KVM grabs a reference to itself (the VM) prior to making
the object visible to userspace to avoid prematurely freeing the VM
in the scenario where userspace immediately closes file descriptor.
