If userspace doesn't set KVM_MEM_LOG_DIRTY_PAGES on memslot before calling
kvm_s390_vm_start_migration(), kernel will oops with:

  Unable to handle kernel pointer dereference in virtual kernel address space
  Failing address: 0000000000000000 TEID: 0000000000000483
  Fault in home space mode while using kernel ASCE.

due to ms->dirty_bitmap being NULL, which migh crash the host.

Make sure that ms->dirty_bitmap is set before using it or
print a warning and return -ENIVAL otherwise.

PS:
  keeping it private for now as issue might DoS host,
  I'll leave it upto maintainers to decide if it should be handled as security
  bug (I'm not sure what process for handling such bugs should be used).
