Runs into core dump on arm64 and the backtrace extracted from the
core dump is shown as below. It's caused by accessing uninitialized
@kvm_state in kvm_flush_coalesced_mmio_buffer() due to commit 176d073029
("hw/arm/virt: Use machine_memory_devices_init()"), where the machine's
memory region is added earlier than before.

    main
    qemu_init
    configure_accelerators
    qemu_opts_foreach
    do_configure_accelerator
    accel_init_machine
    kvm_init
    virt_kvm_type
    virt_set_memmap
    machine_memory_devices_init
    memory_region_add_subregion
    memory_region_add_subregion_common
    memory_region_update_container_subregions
    memory_region_transaction_begin
    qemu_flush_coalesced_mmio_buffer
    kvm_flush_coalesced_mmio_buffer

Fix it by bailing early in kvm_flush_coalesced_mmio_buffer() on the
uninitialized @kvm_state. With this applied, no crash is observed on
arm64.
