Ugh, this code is a mess.  On allocation failure, it nukes the entire bus and
invokes the destructor for all _other_ devices on the bus.  The coalesced MMIO
code is iterating over its list of devices, and while list_for_each_entry_safe()
can handle removal of the current entry, it blows up when future entries are
deleted.

That the coalesced MMIO code continuing to iterate appears to stem from the fact
that KVM_UNREGISTER_COALESCED_MMIO doesn't require an exact match.  Whether or
not this is intentional is probably a moot point since it's now baked into the
ABI.

Assuming we can't change kvm_vm_ioctl_unregister_coalesced_mmio() to stop
iterating on match, the least awful fix would be to return success/failure from
kvm_io_bus_unregister_dev().

Note, there's a second bug in the error path in kvm_io_bus_unregister_dev(), as
it invokes the destructors before nullifying kvm->buses and synchronizing SRCU.
I.e. it's freeing devices on the bus while readers may be in flight.  That can
be fixed by deferring the destruction until after SRCU synchronization.

I'll send patches unless someone has a better idea for fixing this.
