Subject: [PATCH] KVM: VMX: check match table

Fixes the warning:
arch/x86/kvm/vmx.c:64:32: warning: variable 'vmx_cpu_id' is not needed
and will not be emitted [-Wunneeded-internal-declaration]``

Other callers of MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE() seem to check their second
argument during driver init with the x86_match_cpu() function, if their
first argument to MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE() is x86cpu.  The documentation
for x86_match_cpu() seems to agree.
