3.16.44-rc1 review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Vitaly Kuznetsov <vkuznets@xxxxxxxxxx> commit 421b8f20d3c381b215f988b42428f56fc3b82405 upstream. It may happen that not all CPUs are online when we do hv_synic_alloc() and in case more CPUs come online later we may try accessing these allocated structures.
