Subject: [ 39/52] KVM: Ensure all vcpus are consistent with in-kernel irqchip settings

3.3-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Avi Kivity <avi@...hat.com>

(cherry picked from commit 3e515705a1f46beb1c942bb8043c16f8ac7b1e9e)

If some vcpus are created before KVM_CREATE_IRQCHIP, then
irqchip_in_kernel() and vcpu->arch.apic will be inconsistent, leading
to potential NULL pointer dereferences.

Fix by:
- ensuring that no vcpus are installed when KVM_CREATE_IRQCHIP is called
- ensuring that a vcpu has an apic if it is installed after KVM_CREATE_IRQCHIP

This is somewhat long winded because vcpu->arch.apic is created without
kvm->lock held.

Based on earlier patch by Michael Ellerman.
