KVM: fix placement of refcount initialization

Reported by syzkaller:

   =============================
   WARNING: suspicious RCU usage
   -----------------------------
   ./include/linux/kvm_host.h:536 suspicious rcu_dereference_check() usage!

   other info that might help us debug this:

   rcu_scheduler_active = 2, debug_locks = 1
   no locks held by repro_11/12688.

   stack backtrace:
   Call Trace:

Commit a97b0e77 (kvm: call kvm_arch_destroy_vm if vm creation fails)
sets users_count to 1 before kvm_arch_init_vm(), however, if kvm_arch_init_vm()
fails, we need to decrease this count.  By moving it earlier, we can push
the decrease to out_err_no_arch_destroy_vm without introducing yet another
error label.
