Subject: [PATCH] kvm: fix preemption warnings in kvm_vcpu_block

Commit f78195129963 ("kvm: add halt_poll_ns module parameter") calls, with
enabled preemption, single_task_running. When CONFIG_DEBUG_PREEMPT is
enabled that will result in a debug_smp_processor_id() call.

Cc:  <stable@...r.kernel.org> # 4.2.x
