The system will crash if we put an uninitialized iova_domain, this could
happen when an error occurs before initializing the iova_domain in
vdpasim_create().

BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 0000000000000000 ...
RIP: 0010:__cpuhp_state_remove_instance+0x96/0x1c0
...
Call Trace:

So we must make sure the iova_domain is already initialized before put it.

In addition, we may get the following warning in this case:
WARNING: ... drivers/iommu/iova.c:344 iova_cache_put+0x58/0x70

So we must make sure the iova_cache_put() is invoked only if the
iova_cache_get() is already invoked. Let's fix it together.

Can you please add the fixes tag here so that older kernels can take this fix?
