kvm_riscv_vcpu_aia_imsic_update() assumes that the vCPU IMSIC state has
already been initialized and unconditionally accesses imsic->vsfile_lock.
However, in fuzzed ioctl sequences, the AIA device may be initialized at
the VM level while the per-vCPU IMSIC state is still NULL.

This leads to invalid access when entering the vCPU run loop before
IMSIC initialization has completed.

The crash manifests as:
  Unable to handle kernel paging request at virtual address
  dfffffff00000006
  ...
  kvm_riscv_vcpu_aia_imsic_update arch/riscv/kvm/aia_imsic.c:801
  kvm_riscv_vcpu_aia_update arch/riscv/kvm/aia_device.c:493
  kvm_arch_vcpu_ioctl_run arch/riscv/kvm/vcpu.c:927
  ...

Add a guard to skip the IMSIC update path when imsic_state is NULL. This
allows the vCPU run loop to continue safely.

This issue was discovered during fuzzing of RISC-V KVM code.
