vfio: Fix bug in vfio_device_get_from_name()
The vfio_device_get_from_name() function might return a non-NULL pointer, when called with a device name that is not found in the list. This causes undefined behavior, in my case calling an invalid function pointer later on: kernel tried to execute NX-protected page - exploit attempt?
