Do VPID allocation after calling the common kvm_vcpu_init() as a step towards doing vCPU allocation (via kmem_cache_zalloc()) and calling kvm_vcpu_init() back-to-back. Squishing allocation and initialization together will eventually allow the sequence to be moved to arch-agnostic creation code. Note, the VPID is not consumed until KVM_RUN, slightly delaying its allocation should have no real function impact. VPID allocation was arbitrarily placed in the original patch, commit 2384d2b326408 ("KVM: VMX: Enable Virtual Processor Identification (VPID)").
