If the creation of the KVM XIVE device fails for some reasons, the negative errno ends up in xive->fd, but the rest of the code assumes that xive->fd either contains an open fd, ie. positive value, or -1.
This doesn't cause any misbehavior except kvmppc_xive_disconnect() that will try to close(xive->fd) during rollback and likely be rewarded with an EBADF. Only set xive->fd with a open fd.
