Subject: [PATCH v5 29/30] RFC: KVM: x86: Remove cpus_hardware_enabled and related sanity check

From: Isaku Yamahata <isaku.yamahata@...el.com>

cpus_hardware_enabled mask seems incomplete protection against other kernel
component using CPU virtualization feature.  Because it's obscure and
incomplete, remove the check.
