mshv: Fix missing error code on VP allocation failure

In mshv_partition_ioctl_create_vp(), when kzalloc for the VP struct
fails, the code jumps to the cleanup path without setting ret. At that
point ret is 0 from the preceding successful mshv_vp_stats_map() call,
so the function returns success to userspace despite having failed to
create the VP. No fd is installed and no VP is registered in pt_vp_array,
but userspace has no way to know the operation failed.

Set ret to -ENOMEM before jumping to the cleanup path.
