Yes, the kernel test robot has already warned me about not
doing that right. :-(

But consider a CoCo VM where the allocation is not done in
hv_synic_alloc().  In this case, synic_message_page is set in
hv_synic_enable_regs(), which is called only when a CPU is brought
online.  If the CPUs that are brought online are less than all present
CPUs because of kernel command line options, then we might have
synic_message_page values for other present CPUs that don't get
initialized and remain NULL.

I should probably tweak the commit message to call out this case
explicitly.
