vfio: Fix bug in vfio_device_get_from_name()

commit e324fc82 upstream.

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? (uid: 0)
 BUG: unable to handle kernel paging request at ffff8800cb3ddc08

[...]

 Call Trace:
  [<ffffffffa03bd733>] ? vfio_group_fops_unl_ioctl+0x253/0x410 [vfio]
  [<ffffffff811efc4d>] do_vfs_ioctl+0x2cd/0x4c0

  [<ffffffff8167f776>] entry_SYSCALL_64_fastpath+0x16/0x75

Fix the issue by returning NULL when there is no device with
the requested name in the list.
