KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: Fix kvm_alloc_linear in case where no linears exist 

In kvm_alloc_linear we were using and deferencing ri after the
list_for_each_entry had come to the end of the list.  In that
situation, ri is not really defined and probably points to the
list head.  This will happen every time if the free_linears list
is empty, for instance.  This led to a NULL pointer dereference
crash in memset on POWER7 while trying to allocate an HPT in the
case where no HPTs were preallocated.

This fixes it by using a separate variable for the return value
from the loop iterator.
