num_queues, the driver may end up trying to allocating zero size
buffers where ZERO_SIZE_PTR is returned which may pass the checking
against the NULL. This will lead unexpected results.

Fixing this by failing the probe in this case.

Should we CC stable?

Reviewed-by: Stefano Garzarella <sgarzare@redhat.com>
No IMO - I don't think we can reasonably expect stable to become
protected against attacks on encrypted guests. That's
a new feature, not a bugfix.
Yep, make sense.
I had only seen the single patch, not the entire series, and it seemed 
like a fix.

Viewed as a whole, it makes sense to consider it a new feature to 
improve audits in the guest.

Thanks,
Stefano
