The second part of the comment still applies to kvm_mmu_after_set_cpuid more than to kvm_arch_vcpu_ioctl().

 		r = -EFAULT;
[...]
+		if (vcpu->arch.last_vmentry_cpu != -1)
+			goto out;
+
 		if (copy_from_user(&cpuid, cpuid_arg, sizeof(cpuid)))
 			goto out;
 		r = kvm_vcpu_ioctl_set_cpuid(vcpu, &cpuid, cpuid_arg->entries);

This should be an EINVAL.

Tweaked and queued nevertheless, thanks.
