Subject: [PATCH v3 1/8] KVM: X86: Reset vcpu->arch.cpuid_nent to 0 if SET_CPUID* fails

Current implementation keeps userspace input of CPUID configuration and
cpuid->nent even if kvm_update_cpuid() fails. Reset vcpu->arch.cpuid_nent
to 0 for the case of failure as a simple fix.

Besides, update the doc to explicitly state that if IOCTL SET_CPUID*
fail KVM gives no gurantee that previous valid CPUID configuration is
kept.
