Subject: [PATCH 5.15 061/110] x86/kvm: Dont use pv tlb/ipi/sched_yield if on 1 vCPU

From: Wanpeng Li <wanpengli@...cent.com>

[ Upstream commit ec756e40e271866f951d77c5e923d8deb6002b15 ]

Inspired by commit 3553ae5690a (x86/kvm: Don't use pvqspinlock code if
only 1 vCPU), on a VM with only 1 vCPU, there is no need to enable
pv tlb/ipi/sched_yield and we can save the memory for __pv_cpu_mask.
