In the process of bringing down CPUs, the SVM / VMX structures associated
with those CPUs are not freed.  This may cause leaks when unloading and
reloading the KVM module, as only the structures associated with online
CPUs are cleaned up.  So, clean up all possible CPUs, not just online ones.

  static __init int alloc_kvm_area(void)

First, I'm not sure per_cpu works for possible but not actual cpus. Second, we now eagerly allocate but lazily free, leading to lots of ifs and buts. I think the code can be cleaner by eagerly allocating and eagerly freeing.

Do not meddle in the internals of kernels, for they are subtle and quick to panic.
