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.

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.
