Hi; Coverity reports an issue in this code (CID 1458243):

Here we check whether cs->kvm_state is NULL, but even if it is
NULL we can still continue execution further through the function.

Later in the function we call hv_cpuid_get_host(), which in turn
can call get_supported_hv_cpuid_legacy(), which can dereference
cs->kvm_state without checking it.

So either the check on cs->kvm_state above is unnecessary, or we
need to handle it being NULL in some way other than falling through.

Side note: this change isn't in line with our coding style, which
requires braces around the body of the if().
