vfio/mdev: Do not allow a mdev_type to have a NULL parent pointer
There is a small race where the parent is NULL even though the kobj has already been made visible in sysfs. For instance the attribute_group is made visible in sysfs_create_files() and the mdev_type_attr_show() does: ret = attr->show(kobj, type->parent->dev, buf); Which will crash on NULL parent. Move the parent setup to before the type pointer leaves the stack frame.
