KVM: VMX: Add list of potentially locally cached vcpus
VMX hardware can cache the contents of a vcpu's vmcs. This cache needs to be flushed when migrating a vcpu to another cpu, or (which is the case that interests us here) when disabling hardware virtualization on a cpu. The current implementation of decaching iterates over the list of all vcpus, picks the ones that are potentially cached on the cpu that is being offlined, and flushes the cache. The problem is that it uses mutex_trylock() to gain exclusive access to the vcpu, which fires off a (benign) warning about using the mutex in an interrupt context. To avoid this, and to make things generally nicer, add a new per-cpu list of potentially cached vcus. This makes the decaching code much simpler. The list is vmx-specific since other hardware doesn't have this issue.
