There are some error paths in kvmppc_core_vcpu_create_e500() where we
forget to set the error code.  It means that we return ERR_PTR(0) which
is NULL and it results in a NULL pointer dereference in the caller.

Are these user-triggerable, and therefore needing to go into 4.13
and be back-ported to the stable trees?  Or can they wait for 4.14?
