Subject: [PATCH 4.9 109/153] hv: init percpu_list in hv_synic_alloc()

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

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

From: Vitaly Kuznetsov <vkuznets@...hat.com>

commit 3c7630d35009e6635e5b58d62de554fd5b6db5df upstream.

Initializing hv_context.percpu_list in hv_synic_alloc() helps to prevent a
crash in percpu_channel_enq() when not all CPUs were online during
initialization and it naturally belongs there.
