To match vmx_exit cleanup.  Now vmx_init() is before kvm_x86_vendor_init(),
vmx_init() can initialize loaded_vmcss_on_cpu.  Oppertunistically move it
back into vmx_init().

v18:
- move the loaded_vmcss_on_cpu initialization to vmx_init().
- fix error path of vt_init(). by Chao and Binbin

we cannot simply change the calling order of vmx_init() and kvm_x86_vendor_init(). There is dependency between them.

e.g.,

kvm_x86_vendor_init()
  -> ops->hardware_setup()
	-> vmx_hardware_setup()

will update 'enable_ept' based on hardware capability (e.g., if the hardware support EPT or not), while 'enable_ept' is used in vmx_init().
