Ensure vcpu->cpu is read once when signalling the AVIC doorbell. If the
compiler rereads the field and the vCPU is migrated between the check and
writing the doorbell, KVM would signal the wrong physical CPU.
Functionally, signalling the wrong CPU in this case is not an issue as
task migration means the vCPU has exited and will pick up any pending
interrupts on the next VMRUN. Add the READ_ONCE() purely to clean up the
code.
Opportunistically add a comment explaining the task migration behavior,
and rename cpuid=>cpu to avoid conflating the CPU number with KVM's more
common usage of CPUID.
