RISC-V: KVM: Fix null pointer dereference in kvm_riscv_aia_imsic_has_attr()
Add a null pointer check for imsic_state before dereferencing it in
kvm_riscv_aia_imsic_has_attr(). While the function checks that the
vcpu exists, it doesn't verify that the vcpu's imsic_state has been
initialized, leading to a null pointer dereference when accessed.
This issue was discovered during fuzzing of RISC-V KVM code. The
crash occurs when userspace calls KVM_HAS_DEVICE_ATTR ioctl on an
AIA IMSIC device before the IMSIC state has been fully initialized
for a vcpu.
The crash manifests as:
Unable to handle kernel paging request at virtual address
dfffffff00000001
...
epc : kvm_riscv_aia_imsic_has_attr+0x464/0x50e

kvm_device_ioctl_attr virt/kvm/kvm_main.c:4722 [inline]
kvm_device_ioctl+0x296/0x374 virt/kvm/kvm_main.c:4739
...
The fix adds a check to return -ENODEV if imsic_state is NULL, which
is consistent with other error handling in the function and prevents
the null pointer dereference.
