Subject: KVM: Fix GFP_KERNEL alloc in atomic section bug
From: Ingo Molnar <mingo@xxxxxxx>
KVM does kmalloc() in an atomic section while having preemption disabled via
vcpu_load(). Fix this by moving the ->*_msr setup from the vcpu_setup method
to the vcpu_create method.
(This is also a small speedup for setting up a vcpu, which can in theory be
more frequent than the vcpu_create method).
