In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

drm/i915/gvt: fix gvt debugfs destroy

When gvt debug fs is destroyed, need to have a sane check if drm
minor's debugfs root is still available or not, otherwise in case like
device remove through unbinding, drm minor's debugfs directory has
already been removed, then intel_gvt_debugfs_clean() would act upon
dangling pointer like below oops.

i915 0000:00:02.0: Direct firmware load for i915/gvt/vid_0x8086_did_0x1926_rid_0x0a.golden_hw_state failed with error -2
