Ah, so this was reported before, and you sent the same fix.  Well, it was never
applied, so the bug is still there, and anyone who can use /dev/kvm can trigger
it.  So one of these patches needs to be applied, unless there is a better fix.

I don't agree with the "Fixes:" line in your version of the patch.  The bug was
actually there prior to 5419369ed, which might explain why that commit seemed to
preserve the behavior intentionally.  (Note that KVM_MEMORY_SLOTS did not
include the private memory slots; it was later renamed to KVM_USER_MEM_SLOTS.)
