Subject: [PATCH 1/4] kvm: cpuid: adjust the returned nent field of kvm_cpuid2 for KVM_GET_SUPPORTED_CPUID and KVM_GET_EMULATED_CPUID

Calling the kvm KVM_GET_[SUPPORTED/EMULATED]_CPUID ioctl requires
a nent field inside the kvm_cpuid2 struct to be big enough to contain
all entries that will be set by kvm.
Therefore if the nent field is too high, kvm will adjust it to the
right value. If too low, -E2BIG is returned.

However, when filling the entries do_cpuid_func() requires an
additional entry, so if the right nent is known in advance,
giving the exact number of entries won't work because it has to be increased
by one.
