info is being checked to see if it is a null pointer, however, vpgu is dereferencing info before this check, leading to a potential null pointer dereference. If info is null, then the error message being printed by macro gvt_vgpu_err and this requires vpgu to exist. We can use a null vpgu as the macro has a sanity check to see if vpgu is null, so this is OK.

Does this mean the original gvt_err() macro is no longer there?
And apparently gvt_vgpu_err is a macro that depends on the specifics of its environment? Yikes.
