In case my understanding is correct, this may actually get triggered
for Hyper-V root partition: vmx_hardware_disable() gets called from
kvm_dying_cpu() which has its own CPUHP_AP_KVM_STARTING stage. VP page
unmapping happens in hv_cpu_die() which uses generic CPUHP_AP_ONLINE_DYN
(happens first on CPU oflining AFAIR). I believe we need to introduce a
new CPUHP_AP_HYPERV_STARTING stage and put it before
CPUHP_AP_KVM_STARTING so it happens after it upon offlining.
The issue is likely theoretical as Hyper-V root partition is a very
special case, I'm not sure whether KVM is used there and whether CPU
offlining is possible. In any case, WARN_ON_ONCE() is much better than
NULL pointer dereference we have now :-)
