When the KVM acceleration parameter is not set, executing calc_dirty_rate
with the -r or -b option results in a segmentation fault due to accessing
a null kvm_state pointer in the kvm_dirty_ring_enabled function. This
commit adds a null check for kvm_status to prevent segmentation faults.

I missed the previous iterations of this patch. I disagree
with this approach, we shouldn't call kvm_dirty_ring_enabled()
if kvm_state is NULL, this is a bad API usage. So I'd rather
assert(kvm_state) here and force the callers to check for
kvm_enabled() before calling.
