KVM: Prevent kvm_init from corrupting debugfs structures

Browse Source 
I'm seeing an oops condition when kvm-intel and kvm-amd are modprobe'd
during boot (say on an Intel system) and then rmmod'd:

   # modprobe kvm-intel
     kvm_init()
     kvm_init_debug()
     kvm_arch_init()  <-- stores debugfs dentries internally
     (success, etc)

   # modprobe kvm-amd
     kvm_init()
     kvm_init_debug() <-- second initialization clobbers kvm's
                          internal pointers to dentries
     kvm_arch_init()
     kvm_exit_debug() <-- and frees them

   # rmmod kvm-intel
     kvm_exit()
     kvm_exit_debug() <-- double free of debugfs files!

     *BOOM*

If execution gets to the end of kvm_init(), then the calling module has been
established as the kvm provider.  Move the debugfs initialization to the end of
the function, and remove the now-unnecessary call to kvm_exit_debug() from the
error path.  That way we avoid trampling on the debugfs entries and freeing
them twice.
