Previously, VmFd::get_gpa_access_state returned a dangling reference (in the form of a raw pointer) to a vector that was allocated and freed during the function call. This commit modifies it to instead return the vector directly, since no other information is required by its only consumer (VmFd::get_dirty_log). Signed-off-by: Lucy Menon <[email protected]>
