Subject: [PATCH] kvm: lapic: fix broken vcpu hotplug

Guest fails to online hotplugged CPU with error
  smpboot: do_boot_cpu failed(-1) to wakeup CPU#4

It's caused by the fact that kvm_apic_set_state(), which used to call
recalculate_apic_map() unconditionally and pulled hotplugged CPU into
apic map, is updating map conditionally [1] on state change which doesn't
happen in this case and apic map update is skipped.

Note:
new CPU during kvm_arch_vcpu_create() is not visible to
kvm_recalculate_apic_map(), so all related update calls endup
as NOP and only follow up kvm_apic_set_state() used to trigger map
update that counted in hotplugged CPU.
Fix issue by forcing unconditional update from kvm_apic_set_state(),
like it used to be.

PS:
it's alternative to full revert of [1], I've posted earlier
https://www.mail-archive.com/linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org/msg2205600.html
so fii free to pick up whatever is better by now
