v2 of Michal's fix for a TOCTOU bug in kvm_recalculate_phys_map(). Not fully tested (will do that next week), though I did confirm the reworked selftest can hit the bug. Posting a bit prematurely as I have a long weekend and I don't want Michal to do any duplicate work. In Michal's words... kvm_recalculate_apic_map() creates the APIC map iterating over the list of vCPUs twice. First to find the max APIC ID and allocate a max-sized buffer, then again, calling kvm_recalculate_phys_map() for each vCPU. This opens a race window: value of max APIC ID can increase _after_ the buffer was allocated.
