Subject: [PATCH 3.16.y-ckt 047/129] KVM: ARM/arm64: fix broken __percpu annotation

3.16.7-ckt12 -stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

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

From: Will Deacon <will.deacon@....com>

commit 4000be423cb01a8d09de878bb8184511c49d4238 upstream.

Running sparse results in a bunch of noisy address space mismatches
thanks to the broken __percpu annotation on kvm_get_running_vcpus.

This function returns a pcpu pointer to a pointer, not a pointer to a
pcpu pointer. This patch fixes the annotation, which kills the warnings
from sparse.
