x86/hyperv: Fix error pointer dereference
The function idle_thread_get() can return an error pointer and is not checked for it. Add check for error pointer. Detected by Smatch: arch/x86/hyperv/hv_vtl.c:126 hv_vtl_bringup_vcpu() error: 'idle' dereferencing possible ERR_PTR() Fixes: 2b4b90e053a29 ("x86/hyperv: Use per cpu initial stack for vtl context") Signed-off-by: Ethan Tidmore <ethantidmore06@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Wei Liu <wei.liu@kernel.org>
