Alternatively, we can get rid of synic_initialized flag altogether:
hv_synic_init() never fails in the first place but we can always
implement something like:

int hv_synic_is_initialized(void) {
	union hv_synic_scontrol sctrl;

	hv_get_synic_state(sctrl.as_uint64);

	return sctrl.enable;
}

as it doesn't seem that we need to check synic state on _other_ CPUs.
