Subject: [PATCH 4.3 092/125] KVM: s390: enable SIMD only when no VCPUs were created

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

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

From: David Hildenbrand <dahi@...ux.vnet.ibm.com>

commit 5967c17b118a2bd1dd1d554cc4eee16233e52bec upstream.

We should never allow to enable/disable any facilities for the guest
when other VCPUs were already created.

kvm_arch_vcpu_(load|put) relies on SIMD not changing during runtime.
If somebody would create and run VCPUs and then decides to enable
SIMD, undefined behaviour could be possible (e.g. vector save area
not being set up).
