if (!stt) return -ENOMEM;
kvm_get_kvm(kvm);
if anon_inode_getfd return -ENOMEM
The user can not determine whether kvm_get_kvm has been called
so need add kvm_pet_kvm when anon_inode_getfd fail

stt has already been added to kvm->arch.spapr_tce_tables,
but if anon_inode_getfd fail, stt is unused val,
so call list_del_rcu, and free as quickly as possible

new patch:
