[Xen-devel] [PATCH v2] xen/arm: vcpu: Correctly release resource when the VCPU failed to initialized

[Julien Grall <julien.grall@xxxxxxxxxx>]

While I was adding new failing code at the end of the function, I've noticed
that the vtimers are not freed which mess all the timers and will crash Xen
quickly when the page will be reused.

Currently neither vcpu_vgic_init nor vcpu_vtimer_init fail, so we
are safe for now. With the new GICv3 code, the former function will be able
to fail. This will result to a memory leak.

Call vcpu_destroy if the initialization has failed. We also need to add a
boolean to know if the vtimers are correctly setup as the timer common code
doesn't have safe guard against removing non-initialized timer.
