Subject[PATCH] KVM: X86: fix lazy allocation of rmaps
Date
If allocation of rmaps fails, but some of the pointers have already been written,
those pointers can be cleaned up when the memslot is freed, or even reused later
for another attempt at allocating the rmaps. Therefore there is no need to
WARN, as done for example in memslot_rmap_alloc, but the allocation *must* be
skipped lest KVM will overwrite the previous pointer and will indeed leak memory.
