KVM: Ensure all vcpus are consistent with in-kernel irqchip settings
commit 3e515705 upstream If some vcpus are created before KVM_CREATE_IRQCHIP, then irqchip_in_kernel() and vcpu->arch.apic will be inconsistent, leading to potential NULL pointer dereferences. Fix by: - ensuring that no vcpus are installed when KVM_CREATE_IRQCHIP is called - ensuring that a vcpu has an apic if it is installed after KVM_CREATE_IRQCHIP This is somewhat long winded because vcpu->arch.apic is created without kvm->lock held. Based on earlier patch by Michael Ellerman.
