Subject: [PATCH v2 5/6] KVM: s390: Cap KVM_CAP_NR_VCPUS by num_online_cpus()

KVM_CAP_NR_VCPUS is a legacy advisory value which on other architectures
return num_online_cpus() caped by KVM_CAP_NR_VCPUS or something else
(ppc and arm64 are special cases). On s390, KVM_CAP_NR_VCPUS returns
the same as KVM_CAP_MAX_VCPUS and this may turn out to be a bad
'advice'. Switch s390 to returning caped num_online_cpus() too.
