Subject: [PATCH v4 7/8] KVM: Pre-allocate cpumasks for kvm_make_all_cpus_request_except()

Allocating cpumask dynamically in zalloc_cpumask_var() is not ideal.
Allocation is somewhat slow and can (in theory and when CPUMASK_OFFSTACK)
fail. kvm_make_all_cpus_request_except() already disables preemption so
we can use pre-allocated per-cpu cpumasks instead.
