Use a per-CPU variable instead of a shared bitmap to track which CPUs
have successfully enabled virtualization hardware. Using a per-CPU bool
avoids the need for an additional allocation, and arguably yields easier
to read code. Using a bitmap would be advantageous if KVM used it to
avoid generating IPIs to CPUs that failed to enable hardware, but that's
an extreme edge case and not worth optimizing, and the low level helpers
would still want to keep their individual checks as attempting to enable
virtualization hardware when it's already enabled can be problematic,
e.g. Intel's VMXON will fault.
Opportunistically change the order in hardware_enable_nolock() to set
the flag if and only if hardware enabling is successful, instead of
speculatively setting the flag and then clearing it on failure.
Add a comment explaining that the check in hardware_disable_nolock()
isn't simply paranoia. Waaay back when, commit 1b6c016818a5 ("KVM: Keep
track of which cpus have virtualization enabled"), added the logic as a
guards against CPU hotplug racing with hardware enable/disable. Now that
KVM has eliminated the race by taking cpu_hotplug_lock for read (via
cpus_read_lock()) when enabling or disabling hardware, at first glance it
appears that the check is now superfluous, i.e. it's tempting to remove
the per-CPU flag entirely...
